Chennai are in a huddle.

... RUN CHASE ...

All of that though has to be put behind now and Mumbai will need to bat well to chase this down. The wicket is not the easiest and Mumbai are missing two of their finest batters. Still, Mumbai have a lot of firepower in their batting ranks and Chennai do have a good bowling unit, especially the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Deepak Chahar can really do wonders on this wicket. This promises to be an exciting second half.

Mumbai will be very disappointed with themselves, they have just let Chennai off the hook completely! Their pacers were all over the opposition's batting line-up in the first 6. The two Kiwis, Boult and Milne were bowling with a lot of fire. However, the bowling side just let the game drift away in the middle overs. The spinners were not too effective and Pollard just did not attack enough. The bowling changes were not probably the best and this could well cost them the game.

The man of the moment, Ruturaj Gaikwad comes up for a quick chat. Says that he is feeling tired but proud to carry the innings for his team and put a total to fight with. Adds that his job was to play long and carry the bat. The plan was to attack the spinners, he adds further. Mentions that you have to always start fresh and it's good to get off to a good start and hopes to defend the total. Shares that it's a two-paced surface and there is a bit for the spinners as well.

After watching wickets falling at the other end, Ruturaj Gaikwad finally found some support. Ravindra Jadeja hung in there with him to build a stand that brought Chennai right back in the game. At the time when the two started, it was all about spending time in the middle and both did that initially. They added 81 before Jadeja fell. Chennai were still behind in the game at that moment and they needed someone to play a good cameo and Bravo did exactly that. Ruturaj Gaikwad stayed there till the end and ensured his side finished with a flourish. 69 runs in the last five overs - That has completely shifted the momentum of the game and it is hanging in the balance.

What a recovery! What a recovery that is! 108 runs in the last 11 overs, whoa! Chennai looked down and out completely at 24 for 4, effectively 5 as Rayudu went back to the dugout retired hurt. However, a youngster stepped up for them. He has played an innings of a lifetime. With every season, he just keeps improving but this has to be one of his best knocks. Take a bow, Ruturaj Gaikwad. He is solely responsible for his side to reach a total that is more than competitive.

19.6 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Ruturaj Gaikwad finishes the innings off in style. Once again Bumrah errs in landing his yorker, it's around off, Gaikwad kneels down and smokes it over deep square leg for a maximum. Chennai finish on 156/6!
