The Mumbai Indians took on the Kings XI Punjab in the 13th game of the Indian Premier League 2020 and it was Rohit Sharma’s men who walked away with the last laugh. KL Rahul's KXIP lost the game by 48 runs they chased a total of 192 runs. Needless to say that the fans had gone gaga over Rohit Sharma who slammed 70 runs from 45 balls and a cameo from Keiron Pollard also set the Internet on fire. Even the Mumbai Indians bowlers did a decent job of scalping wickets at regular intervals and made sure the KXIP batsmen do not form a formidable partnership to bother Rohit Sharma’s men.

It was a collective effort from the Mumbai Indians side as they walked away with the last laugh. Only Nicholas Pooran from Kings XI Punjab could score 44 runs from 27 balls and was the highest scorer of the team. Jasprit Bumrah, Rahul Chahar and James Pattinson all snapped two wickets each. TrentBoult and Krunal Pandya got one wicket each. Now, let's have a look at the reactions below:
Bumrah's smiling. Ro's smiling. We are smiling!
