Mumbai Indians reached into the top three of the Indian Premier League securing a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Rohit Sharma smacked three sixes and eight fours scoring 70 runs in his second straight half-century as Mumbai reached 146-3 in 15.4 overs, propelling them to third place on the points table.

Earlier, Heinrich Klaasen belted 71 off 44 balls to save Hyderabad from destruction and revived the innings in a 99-run stand with Abhinav Manohar who made 43 off 63 balls before Jasprit Bumrah had Klassen caught at deep mid-wicket in the penultimate over ending with the score on 143-8 with new ball bowlers Trent Boult (4-26) and Deepak Chahar (2-12) doing the most damage.

It’s a remarkable turnaround for Mumbai, with Hyderabad at No. 9, on the points table just ahead of last-place Chennai Super Kings.
