MI vs PBKS Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma produced gritty knocks on a sluggish wicket to fire Mumbai Indians to 192/7 against Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League contest on Thursday.
Suryakumar found his rhythm after a slow start to finish with 78 off 53 balls whereas left-handed Varma hit some lusty blows on the leg side to make 34 off a mere 18 balls.
Towards the end, Tim David blasted a seven-ball 14 to provide the visitors with late impetus.
On a typically low and slow surface here, MI batters struggled for timing yet garnered the highest total so far at IPL's newest venue.
Rohit Sharma (36 off 25) and Suryakumar provided the bedrock with a sturdy 81-run stand for the second wicket before Varma and David found their mojo. But there was disappointment in store for MI skipper Hardik Pandya, who perished for a six-ball 10.
Early on, Ishan Kishan (8) went after Rabada off a short and wide delivery outside to hit it straight to Harpreet Brar at deep thirdman.
Rohit and Suryakumar teamed up to make the most of the powerplay as MI reached 54/1 at the end of it.
Even though he did not get enough strike for the duration of his innings, Rohit looked in prime form to remain ahead of his aggressive partner Suryakumar in terms of strike-rate.
Playing in his 250th IPL match, Rohit brought up his 6,500 runs in the competition.
Before he was hit on the helmet off his own shot while looking to paddle sweep Sam Curran, Rohit also survived an on-field leg-before call through DRS. The right-hander was eventually dismissed when an outside edge was snaffled by Brar at backward point for another fine catch.
Having consumed 34 balls for his fifty, Suryakumar flourished late in the innings to top score for Mumbai.
His exchanges with Kagiso Rabada were particularly entertaining, with two of the best in business trying to battle it out on a tough surface.

Akash Madhwal to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Jitesh Sharma looks to be a goner but he has taken the review. This looks more in hope than anything else as Jitesh missed a straight delivery there. Madhwal goes searching for the yorker but slips in a low full toss, on middle and leg, Jitesh Sharma looks to clip it away off his pads and gets beaten for pace as he fails to get any bat on it. Gets pinged low on the front pad and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. There is no bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be clipping the leg stump and it is umpire's call. Another one bites the dust and Madhwal has his first wicket.

Strategic Break! Punjab needs a big partnership desperately. They are in a lot of trouble currently but the youngsters Shashank Singh and Jitesh Sharma look to be going strong. After their initial batting collapse early on in the innings, they need to also make sure not to lose any more wickets. Mumbai, on the other hand, shouldn't take their feet off the pedal and continue to build pressure. They have a chance to improve their NRR here if they get all the 10 wickets. Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shreyas Gopal have managed to tear through half of Punjab's batting lineup. Now the others need to pull their socks up and get wickets for their team. Akash Madhwal has been handed the ball for his second over.
