A big moment for Kolkata Knight Riders and their rising fast bowler Saurabh Dubey as he dismissed Rohit Sharma in the KKR vs Mumbai Indians match number 65 of the ongoing IPL 2026 season.
Tonight, KKR come to Eden Gardens looking to win another match against Mumbai Indians (MI). After winning the toss, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane decided to bowl first. At present the bowlers are proving the captain’s decision correct.
Saurabh Dubey dismissed Rohit Sharma
Saurabh Dubey dismissed the dangerous MI opener Rohit in his second over of the match. Cameron Green took a well-checked catch. The fast bowler, playing his first IPL season, raised his hands in celebration after getting the wicket of Rohit Sharma. MI lost its third wicket inside the powerplay. Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma and Naman Dheer have lost their wickets in front of the fast attack of KKR.

Mumbai Indians in deep trouble against KKR
Dubey brilliantly caught the full pace of the ball and kept it on the off. Rohit’s aim was to direct the ball over the fielder’s head to the boundary. He swung the bat across the line, but the ball went in a different direction after making connection.
It is well behind midwicket. Cameron Green ran a long distance to take the catch. He started the run from mid-on and took the ball to the mid-wicket circle. Rovman Powell also went after the ball. But in the end Green caught the ball with safe hands.
This was MI’s third wicket tonight. There is no big problem for them as some of their top players have already returned to the pavilion. KKR bowlers are in rhythm.
For them, this match is a must-win match at all costs and they are well aware of the importance of the two points from tonight’s match to keep themselves in the race for the play-offs. In the power play, Mumbai Indians scored only 46 runs for 4 wickets. Saurabh Dubey also took the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav.
Fans’ reaction after Rohit’s bad innings
Brother, compare Rohit with Surya. No, Rohit has not performed in the last 5 seasons but he has scored runs for India at the same time. His place was never in doubt, neither for India nor for MI. Rohit is different here. Surya has neither runs in T20I nor in IPL. If this continues…

Rohit knew that he was being exposed to pressure after early wickets, because he knew that he could not handle that kind of pressure like Kohli.
Instead of stepping forward and leading his team, he played a careless shot and threw away his wicket.

There is something seriously wrong with MI. I mean constantly tinkering with the batting order and then getting Cam Green out! come on guys!!! I think this mess stems from how we messed up the Indian captaincy after Rohit Sharma! This will trouble Team India also. somehow we won trophies

Rohit Sharma hit 2 sixes, still scored only 15(13) runs, now we know why he has been selected in the ODI team on the basis of fitness.#MIvsKKR
