Rohit's magnificent century, only his second in the IPL and first since 2012, showcased his class as he struck 11 fours and five sixes during his 63-ball innings. However, his valiant effort was not enough to carry MI to victory, as the rest of the team failed to provide adequate support despite the batting-friendly conditions at the Wankhede Stadium.
