That concludes the proceedings for this match. Chennai have jumped to the top on the points table now and this win against Mumbai will give them some extra boost. The next game on Monday, 20th September 2021 is going to see the clash between Kolkata and Bangalore in Abu Dhabi. The action will begin at 6 pm local (2 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Ruturaj Gaikwad is chosen for the Man of the Match award! Says it is one of his best innings till now as they were under a lot of pressure and he had to grind, take it deep and create partnerships. States they targeted 120-130 but then 140 looked possible and then 150. Also says the Chennai team gives him a lot of confidence and they back him and it helps a lot. Further says that the Lankan tour also helped him. Shares the ball was moving around at the start so he had to go after the spinners and it came off. Ends by saying the dropped catch at that stage of de Kock could have been crucial but he is happy it did not cost them.
MS Dhoni, the victorious captain of Chennai, says that at that point of time when they were 24/4, they wanted something respectable on the board. He praises Gaikwad and Bravo's knocks to take them to 156 and calls it a tremendous effort. On the surface, MS replies that it was two-paced and was slightly difficult for the new batsmen at the start. Agrees that it was tough to come back from there but some sensible batting and a very good finish took them to a good total. Talks about the batting depth of Chennai but calls it sensible that one guy batted through to the end. Dhoni also says that one of the conscious attempts is to finish the overs in time, so the choice of the bowlers also depend on it sometimes. Regarding Ambati Rayudu's fitness, Dhoni shares that he was smiling, so he has not broken his arm, some rest and he should be back.
Dwayne Bravo also comes up for a chat. Says that it is a good feeling, against Mumbai, it is always like a final and starting off with a win is good. Adds he was just trying to protect himself in the final stages of the CPL and when he came here, he had one session of bowling and he felt good. Mentions that he bats lower down the order and for him it is about winning the moments, if there are 12 balls left, then he looks to capitalize on those 12 balls and if there are 11 overs left, he looks to stay out there. Credits the way Ruturaj Gaikwad played and says he has been a star performer for them. Adds that he batted really good and has a big appetite for runs. Ends by saying he is pleased they got over the line.
Kieron Pollard, the stand-in captain of Mumbai, says he felt it got away in the middle but things like this happen in cricket. Mentions that Ruturaj Gaikwad played really well and he batted them out of the game. Admits they did not finish off well with the ball. Tells that the wicket was a good one, there was assistance at the start and they did make use of it but could not continue. Further says that Chennai's batsmen tried to continue the momentum throughout which they didn't do. States that they kept losing wickets and they needed someone to play deep. Talks about a few soft dismissals and feels that they should have avoided. Ends by saying there are 6 games to go and he hopes to turn it around.
Presentation time...
This game appeared done and dusted very early once Chennai lost their four wickets inside the Powerplay. But Ruturaj Gaikwad took the charge and formed useful stands to keep Chennai afloat in their batting innings. A strong finish handed them a challenging total, not to forget Dwayne Bravo's scintillating cameo, and their bowlers turned on the heat. Mumbai also lost three wickets in the first six overs and it was a big task for them from thereon. Saurabh Tiwary held one end strongly but the wickets kept falling at the other end. The biggest blow came in the form of Kieron Pollard's wicket and after that, it just became too tough for the defending champions to deal with the required rate. Tiwary stayed till the end but failed to take his team home. Deepak Chahar with the new ball and Dwayne Bravo in the middle and death overs were very impressive and finished with five wickets between them.
Excellent defense from Chennai and they avenged their last loss against Mumbai. This is only the second occasion in the history of this tournament that a team batting first was 4 down for 24 but still went on to win the game. Take a bow, Chennai. Take a bow, Ruturaj Gaikwad!

OUT! Another one bites the dust! The Bravo-Raina combo has one more wicket. Slower one, full and around off, dipping in, Chahar tries to heave but there is no elevation on his shot. A simple catch for Suresh Raina at short mid-wicket. Jasprit Bumrah has walked out.

Dwayne Bravo To Adam Milne OUT!
OUT! Caught in the deep! Dwayne Bravo delivers it on a length, slower in pace, as expected, Adam Milne tries to chance his arms, swings his bat across the line but it comes from the bottom half of his blade. Krishnappa Gowtham (sub for Ambati Rayudu) makes no mistake near the fence at deep mid-wicket.
Saurabh Tiwary has a word with Adam Milne. 23 needed off 5 balls.

Deepak Chahar To Saurabh Tiwary
PUT DOWN! MS Dhoni has put down the catch, that's a rare sight. This one is on a length and outside off, angling away, Saurabh Tiwary shuffles across the stumps for the paddle scoop but it takes the top edge. The ball loops in the air towards short fine leg, Dwayne Bravo is present there but Dhoni comes running in, probably calls for the catch but fails to hold on. Bravo is disappointed, that was his catch, he was right under that one. Could be a costly miss. The batsmen have crossed.

Deepak Chahar To Saurabh Tiwary
Well played in the end. Saurabh Tiwary makes a premeditated move across the stumps and Chahar follows him outside off with a very full delivery. Tiwary makes late adjustment and squeezes it through point for a couple.

Deepak Chahar To Saurabh Tiwary
FOUR! A much-needed boundary for Mumbai. Fractionally short and close to off, Saurabh Tiwary camps back and clubs it down the ground. It races away to the long off fence in a flash. 44 needed off 16 balls.
