Kohli, who was in sublime form, raced to a 29-ball fifty and looked set for a big score. But in the 15th over, just after a time-out, he mistimed a shot off MI skipper Hardik Pandya.

A top-edge off a leg-side attempt was caught by Naman Dhir at deep square, ending Kohli's innings at 67 off 42 balls, including 8 fours and 2 sixes.

As he walked back, an angry Kohli smashed his bat and flung his gloves in the dressing room.

Earlier in the innings, Kohli also became the first Indian to breach the 13,000-run mark in T20 cricket and now has 838 runs at the Wankhede — one of his favourite venues.
