Suryakumar Yadav hit an unbeaten 68 but his Mumbai Indians team fell to their fourth successive loss of this season's IPL as they went down to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday. The swashbuckling Suryakumar lifted Mumbai from 79-6 to 151-6 but the total barely tested Faf du Plessis' Bangalore who achieved their target with nine balls and seven wickets to spare in Pune. Up and coming Indian talent Anuj Rawat hit 66 and put on 80 runs with Virat Kohli (48) to guide the team, who hunt for their maiden Indian Premier League title, to their third win in four games.

Five-time champions Mumbai remain winless so far along with holders Chennai Super Kings who also suffered their fourth loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match of the day in Mumbai.

"Definitely not a 150-run pitch, Surya showed us you can do that if you bat sensibly. Credit to Surya, but we knew it wasn't going to be enough," Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma said.

"We want batters to bat deep. And if you get runs on the board, there's something for the bowlers to do."

Mumbai started strongly with an opening stand of 50 between Rohit and Ishan Kishan -- both scored 26 -- before pace bowler Harshal Patel and Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga rattled the batting.
