Rohit Sharma, in the match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), shot his way to a majestic 80 off 54 balls.
The Mumbai skipper powered his side to an imposing 195/5 in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. The Hitman went especially hard against Pat Cummins, who conceded 49 runs in his three overs.
From hitting the ball out of the park to his trademark pull shots, Rohit did it all. His knock got netizens shutting down his trollers who commented on his fitness and weight.
They trolled Rohit for his fitness before WC19.

As for the clash, KKR need to chase down a target score of 196 to win the match. They have already lost their openers - Shubman Gill and Sunil Narine - early in the match.
Mumbai had earlier lost their opener match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Chennai franchise had a 5-wicket win but lost by 10 runs to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their second outing.
