Suryakumar steers the team home with an impressive knock after the visitors restrict the Chennai side to 131 on a tricky wicket
Mumbai Indians made all the right moves at a sweltering Chepauk on Tuesday. The bowlers operated to a plan, the captaincy was spot on, and then Suryakumar Yadav employed his feet against spin.
Credit to skipper Rohit Sharma. He blended a sense of adventure with technical nous through his changes.
He boldly introduced Rahul Chahar in the third over of the innings, and the legspinner prised out the inform Faf du Plessis on the cut. Gambles such as these win matches.
MI restricted CSK to 131 for four after the host had elected to bat. Then, the Mumbai Indians, with the fleet-footed Suryakumar Yadav cutting, flicking and driving with panache for a match-winning 71 not out, cruised home.
The side from Mumbai, with its third win over CSK this season, won Qualifier 1 with six wickets to enter the IPL final. CSK will get another chance in Qualifier 2.
