Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to have a bowl first against Chennai Super Kings and struck early to remove Ajinkya Rahane early in the innings, but a calculated fifty from skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who made 69 runs off 40 deliveries, and another half-century from Shivam Dube, who added 66 off just 38 deliveries helped Chennai steady their innings.

Former CSK skipper produced a whirlwind of an innings as he made a 4-ball-20, which included three sixers on the trot off MI skipper Hardik Pandya in the final over powered the side from Madras past the 200-run mark.

MI were off to a flier as openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan made 70 runs off the opening 7 overs, but following the dismissal of Kishan, the MI batting order crumbled.

Matheesha Pathirana starred with a four-wicket haul, while the spinners helped the Gaikwad-led side choke the flow of runs and lead the Chennai-based unit to a win over their fiercest competitors despite Rohit’s blazing ton, which ultimately went in vain.
