 Mumbai 37-2 (5 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard

Yadav gifts a half volley on the pads to Rohit who easily flicks it square on the leg side for his first boundary. Three balls later, he bowls another full delivery wide outside the off-stump which Rohit drives in some style through the covers for the same result.

The last ball is again full and wide as Rohit throws his bat at it and despite the thick outside edge manages to beat point for the third four of the over, which goes for 12 runs.

New batsman Aditya Tare gets off the mark with a four, driving on the up through the covers and takes a single from the next ball to fine leg. Rohit is then beaten by one that pitches and moves away as he is late into the defensive push.

Rohit taps the fifth ball on the leg side and sprints across for a quick single and Tare whips the last ball to fine leg for another single.

KKR introduce spin early as left-armer Shakib Al Hasan comes into the attack, to bowl the fifth over. Rohit wastes no time in going after the spinner as he comes down the track and lofts the third ball straight down the ground for the first six of IPL 8.

Mumbai suffer another setback in that over as Tare (7) holes out to the long-off fielder off the last ball of the fifth over.

Mumbai are reduced to 37 for two in five overs with Rohit unbeaten on 23 from 18 balls.
