Playing his third game in IPL 2023, it was the first instance Joe Root got to bat. Walking in after both openers were dismissed for a duck, the onus was on the former England captain to resurrect the innings. He played a scratchy innings, trying to rotate the strike but consumed many a dot balls in the process.
