Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was a relieved man after his team finally registered its first win in this edition of the IPL with a six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in a last-ball thriller here on Tuesday.

Hard work pays off

Five-time champions MI suffered defeats in their first two matches, but the Rohit-led side finally pulled off a win after completing a chase of 173 in the last ball. “Winning the game is the most important. We have been working hard from the first game. We had a camp in Mumbai, so getting the result [in our favour] feels good. First win is always special,” said Rohit, who was adjudged the Player of the Match for his 45-ball 65.
