Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets
Right! That's all from this game. What an amazing game. We have got a double-header on Sunday, 2nd May 2021. The first game will see Hyderabad take on Rajasthan. The action will begin at 1500 local (1000 GMT). In the second game, Pant's Delhi will take on Rahul's Punjab and that game starts at 1930 local (1400 GMT). Do join us for both the games. For now, it is goodbye from our end. Please wash your hands and stay safe.
Kieron Pollard is the MAN OF THE MATCH, says that he wants to thank God Almighty. About his bowling, says that he wanted to slip in a couple of overs and he is happy to get two wickets. Says that he wanted to attack the spinners first and then take it to the pacers. Tells that every individual has to evolve and he has worked hard on his off side game. Further goes on to say that he did not take the single in the last over as he backed himself to get the team over the line. Says that the pitch was good and it was understandable that their bowlers didn't do too well in the game.
Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, tells that he has never seen a chase like this and terms the innings as one of the best by Pollard. Says that it was a good wicket for batting and a tough one for the bowlers. Feels they got off to a decent start. Says that they had a brief chat after their bowling where they had decided to go there and express themselves in the middle. Tells that Krunal and Pollard's stand was crucial. On Krunal coming ahead of Pollard, Rohit says that they back  Krunal as he is in a good form and he can change the term of the game. Says on wickets like these, the bowlers will be under pressure but they back them to get the job done.
Hardik Pandya comes up for a chat now. He says that he is pumped after winning such a game and adds that he might be pumped for the rest of the night. Says that when Pollard does someone like this, one is left speechless. Tells that he would have loved to finish the game. Adds that one of his sixes came off the bottom of the bat and still, went all the way. Feels that this game was very important and doing something like this is special.
MS Dhoni, the Chennai skipper, starts by saying that it was a brilliant wicket. Tells that they knew it is going to be a close game unless Mumbai lost a few quick wickets. Feels he doesn't want to be tough on the bowlers and says if they had taken the catches, things would've got better for them. Feels since this may not hurt them much provided they are on top of the table but feels they will learn from it. Mentions once again that the wicket was really good for batting. Says when you have 14 games in a tournament like this, you will get games like these but adds these are the learning you get. Tells that they do not look at the points table and they take it one game at a time.
Stay tuned for the presentation!
Mumbai bowlers had a terrible day at the office. Apart from Pollard and Chahar, all the bowlers used were smashed all over the park. Pollard got 2 in his 2 overs but Mumbai failed to finish things off well with the likes of Boult, Bumrah and Dhawal taken to the cleaners. Bumrah gave away 56 in his 4 overs, the highest in his Indian T20 League career. However, their batters, led by Pollard, scaled down the mountain.
Earlier in the game, on the back of some brilliant knocks from Moeen, Faf and Rayudu, Chennai posted a mammoth score on the board. First, it was Moeen and Faf who set the tone. Chennai lost the plot for a moment but Rayudu played an unbelievable knock to provide a brilliant finish. However, that target too was breached by strong Mumbai batting.
It was a tough start for Chennai bowlers as the Mumbai openers were off to a flying start. However, Shardul got them the breakthrough and then they got two more in the next two overs. After that, came the Pollard mayhem. Every bowler was taken apart by the big man. However, even then, the target was a massive one. Curran bowled a superb 17th over where he gave just 2 runs and took a wicket. However, Shardul was spanked for 17 in the 18th over. Curran went for 14 in the penultimate over before taking two wickets in the over. Ngidi had to defend 16 in the final over. But he couldn't.
Chasing the total, Mumbai got off to a flying start as the openers added 50-plus in the Powerplay. However, Mumbai lost Rohit, Suryakumar and de Kock in 3 successive overs and it looked like the chase will get derailed. But right then, Pollard walked in and took the attack to the opposition. With Krunal, he added 89 off just 41 balls and kept Mumbai in the chase. He lost Hardik too. But he continued. He was there and he was determined. And he did it for his side. Like he has done so many times. Sensational knock to help Mumbai get over the line on the last ball of the match.
Kieron Pollard, you champion! What a knock! What a sensational knock! If there was one team that could've chased this total, it was Mumbai and if there was ever a batter who could have helped the team, it had to be Pollard. Wow. The stuff of champions from Pollard. Take a bow, big man! And Mumbai have stopped the Chennai juggernaut here.

Lungi Ngidi To Kieron Pollard
POLLARD HAS DONE IT! Fuller ball, on the stumps. Pollard manages it hit it towards long on. It is not off the middle and it goes towards long on slowly. The fielders are deep on the boundaries. The man from long on runs in and throws the ball to the bowler's end but Dhawal Kulkarni has made it back in time. MUMBAI WIN BY 4 WICKETS! What a game! Hope you have your nails intact after this one.

Shardul Thakur To Kieron Pollard
Dropped! Faf du Plessis has dropped one! I repeat, Faf du Plessis has dropped one! Has he dropped the game? Looks like that, given how Pollard is batting. Shorter ball, outside off. Kieron Pollard miscues his pull and the ball goes high in the air wide of long on. Faf du Plessis runs across to his right, dives and even gets his fingers to it but drops. We have seen him taking tougher catches than this but such is the game of cricket.

Shardul Thakur To Kieron Pollard
WIDE! Thakur tries to stay away from the firing line but bowls it outside the tramline. Pollard tries to reach out and hit but misses. Wided.
Will Jadeja bowl out? No, time for some pace as Shardul Thakur comes on. 2-0-16-1 for him so far.
Strategic Time-Out! This game is headed to an exciting finish. The way Pollard is batting, he can take the game away from Chennai in the next couple of overs. Getting him out will be Chennai's biggest priority as Hardik Pandya hasn't looked at his best in this season and James Neesham is playing his first game. The arithmetic might favour Chennai currently, but as long as Pollard is out there, the numbers don't matter.

Shardul Thakur To Rohit Sharma OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Shardul strikes in his first over. Dangerous Rohit has been removed. A full ball, outside off, Rohit looks to hammer it over extra cover but the bat turns in his hands and he ends up slicing it high in the air, towards the left of deep cover. Gaikwad moves that side and pouches the ball easily. Another scratchy knock from the Mumbai skipper is over.

Strategic Time Out! An excellent stand by Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock have put Mumbai in a comfortable position. Chennai needs to strike soon if they want to get back in the game. Mumbai would want these two to continue as long as possible.

Deepak Chahar To Rohit Sharma
NOT OUT! There is a spike as the ball gets close to the bat. Well, well. Rohit wasn't sure about it but he will take it. Rohit survives. A fullish ball on middle and leg, Rohit looks to flick but his head falls over and he misses. Gets hit on the back leg. A massive, massive appeal follows and the umpire rasies his finger. Rohit has a word with his partner, a long chat. With just 3 seconds left on the timer, he decides to review. Replays roll in. A spike on Ultra Edge. Rohit survives and he smiles too. He wasn't sure if he hit it and hence he had to discuss with his partner for a long time.
Third time! Yes, Chahar has lost his runup for the third time so far. Not sure what's wrong. He is holding his right leg.
