The 18th season of IPL has started. The third match is being played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday. CSK captain Rituraj Gaikwad won the toss and decided to bowl first. In this match, former captain Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion without opening the account. With this, he made an unwanted record in his name.

Unwanted record registered in Rohit's name

After losing the toss, Mumbai got off to a bad start after coming to bat first. Hitman lost his wicket in the very first over. He was caught by Shivam Dubey off Khalil Ahmed. With this, Rohit became the joint first batsman to get out on zero the most number of times in IPL. He has been out without opening the account 18 times in IPL history. In this case, he has equaled Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik. Both have the unwanted record of getting out on zero in IPL 18 times.

Will Mumbai miss Hardik and Bumrah?
Before the start of the match, Hitman talked about the absence of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. He said that both (Hardik and Bumrah) were not on the team. Hardik will come from the next match, but Bumrah will still have time to return. The team will miss Bumrah somewhere because what he has done and does for the team gives us a lot of confidence. However, now new players have got a chance in the team in place of both of them. We expect a good performance from them.

Chennai Super Kings: Rituraj Gaikwad (captain), Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmed, Nathan Ellis, Khalil Ahmed.
