Rohit Sharma flopped for the first time when he faced Rajasthan Royals’ Trent Boult in the Indian Premier League 2024. He was dismissed for a golden duck after the ball kissed the edge of his bat, and RR captain Sanju Samson completed the rest of the work.

The former MI captain couldn’t handle the scrambled seam and failed to open his account. His dismissal stunned the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium, including Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh. She was completely dejected at the turn of events.
Trent Boult took two more wickets in the form of Naman Dhir and Dewald Brevis. The two batters registered golden ducks.
Ishan Kishan was the fourth player to depart after Samson caught him on Nandre Burger’s delivery. The southpaw accumulated 16 runs of 14 balls, laced with 2 fours and 1 six.
Mumbai Indians have failed in the previous two games against Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Gujarat defeated Mumbai by 6 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Sunrisers registered a 31-run victory over the five-time champions.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson won the toss and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first.
