On the big night, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. After a decent start by the MI openers, CSK bowling unit made a good comeback and restricted the opponent to 149/8 after 20 overs.
Deepak Chahar bowled beautifully, picking 3 wickets for just 26 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Imran Tahir was brilliant as ever, picking up 2 wickets at the crucial point of the match.

Shardul Thakur dropped it short to Hardik and he mistimed it to the cover area. It looked a really simple catch for Raina, but the ball bounced off his hands.

After getting dropped, Hardik Pandya took Shardul for a six in the same over. His innings was cut short by Deepak Chahar in the next over, getting Hardik lbw on a score of 16 runs in 10 balls.
