Mumbai Indians revived their campaign with a six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore thanks to a 44-ball 62 by Rohit Sharma and a blistering knock by Kieron Pollard.
Pollard blasted a 19-ball 40 smashing four fours and three sixes to help his side scaling a 171-run target set by the Bangalore side.
Batting first, Bangalore posted 170 for seven thanks to contributions by their upper order batsmen. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Mumbai bowlers grabbing three for 31. In reply, Mumbai skipper Sharma promoted himself to open and found himself back in a fine form. He took charge of the chase along with Ambati Rayudu, who was equally effective during his 31.
The second-wicket stand of 76 in 55 balls laid the platform for Mumbai's chase, before Iqbal Abdulla gave Royal Challengers a new lease of life by dismissing Rayudu and Rohit in quick succession
However, Jos Buttler and Kieron Pollard flexed their muscles by hitting five sixes between them. While Buttler was out for 28, Pollard remained unbeaten on 40 as Mumbai recorded their second win in five matches.
