It was lovely to bring you updates of this match. I, Akshay Bhide along with my co-commentator Arjun Bhalla sign off for now. Do join us tomorrow for a double header Saturday. Good night folks.
Tonight's match sums up both MI and CSK's seasons so far. MI go at the top of the table with this win and CSK remain at the bottom with 6 points under their belt.
Trent Boult, Player of the Match: New franchise. It's been enjoyable. Any cricket in this global situation is exciting. To get out there, been fun. Natural stuff, pitch the ball up and get it moving. Credit to Boom and the other guys, to come and bowl as a unit. Lucky to get the first over. If it's going to swing it's going to be in the first few balls. Wickets in my opinion are getting slower and drier. It comes down to accuracy.
Trent Boult is the Man of the Match for his sensational bowling. His figures read 4-1-18-4. His personal best in the IPL.
Pollard, MI captain: Thanks for counting. I wasn't (counting). Have played enough T20 cricket to know a thing or two. Was a matter of me stepping in and trying to do the best for the team. Came off tonight. Just a matter of making right decisions, not giving them freebies. Wanted to bowl them out under 100 but Sam batted well. Two-three wickets early on puts you into the game. But to get four-five is fantastic. The openers finishing the job is also fantastic. We're not speaking about it (finishing top two). It's about putting yourself into positions to get two points and then think about that. It's about improving as we go on and the rest will take care of itself. Always room for improvement. Things like lower-order batsmen getting off strike when main batsman is batting. That Super Over loss was disappointing but it's about bouncing back.
MS Dhoni: Well it does hurt. What you need to see is what is going wrong, this year hasn't been our year. In only one or two games this year we have batted and bowled well together. Whether you lose by ten wickets or eight wickets it hardly matters. All the players are hurting, but they are trying their best. It doesn't always go your way. Hopefully in the next three games we'll try to put our last stand. I felt the second game was all about the bowling, our batting wasn't turning up. Rayudu got injured and the rest of the batsmen weren't turning up and we just kept putting pressure on the batting order. Whenever we did not get off to a good start it kept getting difficult for the middle order. In cricket when you are going through a tough phase, you need a bit of luck to go your way. But in this tournament it hasn't really gone our way. We haven't really won the toss, when we are batting second there hasn't been a lot of dew and when we are batting first all of a sudden there is a lot of dew on the field. So it hasn't gone our way and those are the things you study. Whenever you aren't doing well there can be a hundred reasons. One of the main things you ask yourself is whether you are playing to your potential. When you put out a playing eleven and judge whether they have done well to justify their stats on paper on the field, I feel this year we have not done that. Cumulatively when three or four of your batsmen aren't doing well it becomes difficult. I feel it is part and parcel, you think more about the process. Even when you are hurting you put a smile on your face so that the management doesn't look like they are in panic. That is what the youngsters want and I feel the boys have done that. We have kept the dressing room like that and hopefully we can turn it around in the next three games at least for pride. We need to have a clear picture for the next year. The kind of auction, where the venues will be, and you want to give the boys a chance to perform and show their talent. We have to make the most of the next three games and it is good preparation for the next year. Identify the batsmen, who will bowl at the death and hopefully the players will soak up the pressure. Captain can't run away, so I'll be playing in all the games
Let's hear from the skippers what they have to say.
Earlier in the day Pollard won the toss and opted to bowl first and his bowlers didn't disappoint. Boult provided the first breakthrough in the very first over dismissing Gaikwad for a duck. Bumrah fired from the other end and took 2 wickets in 2 successive balls. There was no get away for CSK batsmen and they were reeling at 24/5 at the end of PowerPlay. Dhoni was dismissed by Rahul Chahar in the 7th over and the CSK batsmen were struggling to build a partnership. Sam Curran was the lone fighter for them but he lacked a partner at the other end. He brought up his half century in the last over and was cleaned up by Boult on the last ball. Boult picked 4 wickets and finished with his best figures in IPL and CSK managed to put 114 on the board.
Both Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan came with intent and belted CSK bowlers. The CSK bowlers had no answers and Kishan was the aggressor in the chase, striking the ball cleanly. He remained unbeaten on 68 of 37 balls comprising of 6 fours and 5 maximums. de Kock played the second fiddle role to perfection remaining unbeaten on 46. The pair chased the total in the 13th over resulting a big boost in the net run rate will certainly help them maintaining the top spot. CSK's season have gone from bad to worse and this performance tonight sums up their season so far.
Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 10 wickets with 46 balls to spare. And with this win, they go at the top of the table. This is the first time any team has beaten CSK by 10 wickets in IPL.
