Rohit Sharma delivered a masterclass with a stunning 155 off 94 balls, leading Mumbai to a decisive eight-wicket win over Sikkim in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The explosive innings included a remarkable century achieved in just 62 deliveries, showcasing Sharma's dominance against the young Sikkim bowling attack. Mumbai successfully chased down a target of 237 runs with ease.
Sikkim had posted a competitive total of 236 for 6, largely thanks to a commendable 97 from Ashish Thapa. However, Sharma's fluent strokeplay, marked by numerous boundaries and sixes, nullified any hopes Sikkim had of defending their score. He was well-supported by Angkrish Raghuvanshi and later by Musheer Khan, who added crucial runs.
The match, played on a flat pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, attracted over 20,000 spectators eager to witness Sharma's prowess. His century was the highlight of the day, ensuring Mumbai did not falter after a strong opening partnership and securing a comfortable victory in 30.3 overs. The win marks a significant performance for Mumbai in the tournament.
