RCB vs MI: Youngster Tilak Varma Makes STATEMENT in Mumbai Indians IPL Opener, Smashes Fifty in Front of Mom and Dad: Watch Video

After losing Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Cameron Green, and Suryakumar Yadav early on in their innings, MI’s hopes rested on Tilak. He stepped up to the challenge and ensured that MI reached the 150-run mark and put on a big total. Though the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is known to be a batting-friendly ground, it won’t be easy for RCB to chase down MI’s total against a quality bowling attack.

MI’s playing XI included three overseas players, including Jofra Archer, who made his debut for the franchise in the match. Interestingly, MI brought in their Impact Player, Jason Brehrendorff, right at the start of the second innings. They dropped Suryakumar Yadav for the pacer. RCB opened their innings with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis.
