Marco Jansen stood tall among the Mumbai Indians bowlers as the defending champions were beaten by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Friday, and I'm not talking about his 6ft 8in frame. . Also Read | Harshal Patel: RCB's wrecker-in-chief in IPL 2021 opener vs Mumbai Indians. The South African paceman took two key wickets in one over and was moderately economical throughout his four-over spell, showing potential to become a regular starter for the franchise this campaign and years to come. And with performances like these, the 20-year-old is also makig a strong case for himself to be picked up for the national side. . Halfway through the chase, with skipper Virat Kohli (33) and marquee signing Glenn Maxwell (39) on cruise mode and scoring for fun, Jaspirt Bumrah stuck first to remove the former with the score at 98/3 from 12.3 overs. .

In the very next over, Janses struck twice, dismissing Maxwell and Shahbaz Ahmed (1), to put Mumbai in the driver's seat. . However, a quickfire 27-ball 48 from ‘Mr 360’ AB de Villiers dragged RCB to victory. . Jansen also bowled the final over the match, with the task of defending a meager 7 runs. And the youngster almost pulled it off, bowling a toe-crusher to de Villiers to start the over. However, He missed the mark with his next delivery, which Patel managed to dispatch and steal a quick double from. . de Villiers' run out in the 4th delivery wasn't enough for Mumbai to steal the win, which was ultimately sealed in the final delivery by Patel. . #IPL2021 #MarcoJansen #MumbaiIndians #RoyalChallengersBangalore .

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to their first win in 2013 and have won a total number of 5 titles in the Indian Premier League. After the Australian legend Ricky Pointing dropped himself out of the team due to poor form, Rohit Sharma was selected as a captain in 2013 and he won his first match being a captain against Kolkata Knight Riders, who were the defending champions, in their home ground Eden Gardens . “I have never captained for a continuous stretch at any level and this was a welcome change, for Mumbai Indians are a high-profile IPL franchise. John Wright and the seniors were helpful, but they let me do my own thing during the games. As captain, you cannot let your shoulders droop and there is this onus on doing well yourself, making a personal contribution. I became aware of the situations around me, but I became even more self-aware,” said Rohit in 2013. He has been captaining for the team since 7 consecutive years and this will be his 8th year being a captain. His first match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 9th April, 2021 at 7:30 pm IST. The match will be broadcasted on the Star Sports Network and the official online streaming partner is Disney + Hotstar. #MumbaiIndians #IPL2021 #MumbaichiIPL.
