The batter of the Mumbai Indians failed brutally on their own home ground against their arch-rival, the Chennai Super Kings

The wicket of the Wankhede Stadium is a bit tricky to bat on. In the first innings too, the batting first team, Chennai Super Kings, struggled a lot during their batting. It was Sanju Samson who made the difference between the two teams.

MI needed someone who could do what Sanju Samson did for the Super Kings. Despite having multiple experienced and proven batters in the format, the home team failed to do so.

The fighting knocks of Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav were the only defense of MI against the CSK bowling attack. While Tilak was dismissed for 36 runs from 30 balls, Suryakumar was gone after scoring 37 runs from 29 balls. Both of the Tilak Varma and SKY smashed five 4s each in their respective innings.

MI skipper Hardik Pandya was dismissed cheaply when the team needed him the most

The question will remain on the Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya. When the team needed him the most, especially after the efforts made by Varma and Yadav, Pandya gifted a bagful of disappointment to his franchise.

The captain of the Mumbai Indians got only 1 run from 2 balls. Chances for Mumbai’s play-off scenario in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League turned worsen more after tonight’s match.

In reply to CSK's 207 runs, the Mumbai Indians managed to score only 104 runs in their innings, that too in exchange for all of their 10 batters. The second innings wrapped up in 19 overs. CSK won the match by a massive 103-run margin.
