Match Report:

Mumbai Indians extended their winning streak to two as they routed Royal Challengers Bangalore by 58 runs to record a magnificent victory at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. RCB, who haven't won a single match away from home this season, were bullied into submission first by the MI batsmen who put on 194, before their bowlers shred RCB's batting into disarray.

Chasing a steep 195, RCB started tentatively. Chris Gayle pulled Mitchell Johnson for a six in the third over before hitting two boundaries in the fifth over. Dhawal Kulkarni had a struggling Tillakaratne Dilshan (13) caught by Johnson at third man to give MI their first wicket. Harbhajan Singh then struck the body blow having Gayle (18) top-edge to Ambati Rayudu in the deep. It went downhill from there as Kulkarni had Virat Kohli (1) and AB de Villiers (2) caught behind to leave RCB reeling at 43 for 4.

Saurabh Tiwary stepped out and slammed Harbhajan for a six in the 9th over. Arun Karthik joined in hooking Kulkarni for a six and at the halfway stage RCB were 66 for 4. Arun Karthik (12) was then stumped beautifully off Harbhajan for his second wicket. Dwayne Smith then struck twice dismissing Tiwary (23) and Syed Mohammad (9) in quick succession. R Vinay Kumar (26*) and Ravi Rampaul (22*) delayed the inevitable putting on 51 run for the eighth wicket. RCB eventually fell 58 runs short. 

Earlier, MI opting to bat, had Sachin Tendulkar looking in ominous mood as he smashed four boundaries in Ravi Rampaul's third over. RP Singh however provided some respite for RCB trapping Tendulkar (23) leg before. The 6th over of the innings – bowled by Vinay Kumar - was taken for 14 runs as MI raced to 52 for 1 from their power play. Smith dismissed Kumar for two sixes in the 9th over as MI plundered 19 runs from it. 

Syed Mohammad got the breakthrough breaching the defense of Smith (50). A misunderstanding between Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma (10) resulted in the latter being run out. Kieron Pollard launched Syed Mohammad for two massive sixes in the 15th over before taking apart RP Singh's 17th for 17 runs. MI lost three wickets off successive deliveries in the 18th over; Karthik (43) and Rayudu (0) were run out by Kohli before Kumar had Pollard (34) caught by Rampaul. Harbhajan (16) hit three boundaries off RP Singh as MI finished at 194 for 7.

Presentation ceremony:

The crowd boos as Virat Kohli walks up. "The IPL is not the end of the world, they are forgetting I play for India as well. The top four are not going to click in every game, this was one of those days when it didn't click. We have to pick ourselves up. Hopefully, we can re-group."

Rohit Sharma: "We pretty much did everything well today, right from the batting and we finished off pretty well. Special mention to Dhawal Kulkarni, first game for him, it was a tremendous effort from him. I just don't want to get carried away too much."

Man of the Match is Dwayne Smith: "We didn't have a good start at the top in the first couple of games... It was a very good pitch."

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

As the longest serving and illustrious cricketer of modern times — 199 Tests in 24 years of Test cricket — Sachin Tendulkar has had the pleasure of having more teammates than any of his contemporaries such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Brian Lara. (Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This took his teammates tally to 110 teammates, one behind England’s Frank Woolley (111 in 64 Tests) and seven behind England’s Graham Gooch (118
