Skipper Rohit Sharma’s effortless batting formed the cornerstone of Mumbai Indians’ resounding 49-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the fifth match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. On a big Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Rohit pummelled the KKR bowlers into submission for a 54-ball 80 and powered Mumbai to an imposing 195/5.
