Match Ended   
155/7 (20.0/20)
156/7 (20.0/20)
Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets
Right then, that is all we have from this cracker of a game! Our caravan now moves to Wankhede stadium where Delhi will lock horns against Rajasthan on Friday, 22nd April. That game starts at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Our coverage though will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Mukesh Choudhary is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says he never thought he would never play cricket and he use to play all the sports in school and as he grew he gained interest in cricket. Mentions he tries to swing the ball and he practices for it and has worked on his wrists. Mentions there is no pressure  and the seniors help him a lot.
Ravindra Jadeja, the skipper of Chennai, says that they were very tensed but they believed in Dhoni. Mentions Dhoni is still as good as he was. States that Mukesh Choudhary swings the new ball and that’s why he was given the overs in the Powerplay. Adds they have a lot of experience and they know when to perform and when not to. Admits the fielding was not great and they need to work on it.
Time for the presentation.
Dwaine Pretorius is down for a chat. He says he wanted to play the scoop shot in previous over of Bumrah but he waited and then when he went for it it came off. Adds they knew they needed 5 boundaries and it came. States he is hopeful of winning a few more games and he is happy with his contribution.
Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says that it was a very good fight in the end by them, the bowlers kept them in the game but Dhoni took it away from them. Mentions they are losing early wickets and playing the catch up game but they got to a reasonable score and always had them under pressure but Dhoni got them home. Adds they back themselves to defend anything but the pitch was good and they could have got more and in the end it was not enough.
Time for some interviews!
Unfortunately for Mumbai they have lost seven games in a row now. They did pretty well to get in a position to win this game after the disastrous start with the bat annd credit should be given to Tilak Varma, the way he paced his innings to take Mumbai to a fighting total. Sams then, was the star with the ball and almost took his team over the line but Jaydev Unadkat after bowling quite well through the game just could not hold his nerves against the genius of MS Dhoni. Mumbai now are staring down the barrel and they will need a miracle to qualify for the playoffs from here.
Chennai started the match with a bang as Mukesh Choudhary made the new ball talk and got three wickets early in the Powerplay. Mumbai were always behind the 8-ball after that but Mumbai managed to put a decent total on the board in the end. The death bowling remains a concern for Chennai but they still had the match in the grasp after the first innings, They lost early wickets in the chase but the third wicket partnership between Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu steadied the ship and then Dwaine Pretorius and Dhoni has a great partnership in the end. However, it was Dhoni who turned back the clock as he finished the chase in his cool and calm manner as he smashed 16 runs from the last four balls.
It’s an EL Clasico of the Indian T20 League and one can never expect the game between these two sides to end without some drama. It was the case yet again in this game as the momentum kept swinging from one team to another but in the end it is Chennai that have emerged victorious. Thanks to the partnership between Dwaine Pretorius and MS Dhoni and when it comes down to the last over, MS Dhoni is always the favourite to win the game, no matter what the target is!
VINTAGE DHONI FOLKS!!! Chennai clinch the thriller off the last ball of the game and it is none other than MS Dhoni, arguably the best finisher in modern cricket who turns the game in his side’s favour with a final over heroics yet again!

Sprinted for two on the previous ball, took the onus onto him and finishes it off! A low full toss on the pads, Dhoni swings, it goes more off the inner half through backward square leg and into the boundary. CHENNAI WIN IT ON THE LAST BALL BY 3 WICKETS!

DRINKS! The game is quite even at the moment! Chennai need just below 10 per over. They have a set batter out there but Jadeja is relatively new to the crease. The batting is also long but on this wicket, one can't let the rate shoot to over 12. Mumbai on the other hand, will exactly be looking to do so, they would know if they get Rayudu here, they will well be on top of the game. An interesting passage awaits.

A nothing shot from him. He walks across, this is bowled shorter and on the body, he plays a half-hearted pull shot and it goes straight to deep square leg.

Hrithik Shokeen To Robin Uthappa
SIX! BANG! That has sailed over the fence! Applying salt to the wound! The youngster might have felt, he got his man on the previous ball but gets his for a biggie on the next ball. This is tossed up, a little too full, it is lofted over the long on fence for a biggie.
7.4
0
Hrithik Shokeen To Robin Uthappa
NOT OUT! That was too close to call and probably the right decision in the end! Uthappa just never started walking back as he always had a doubt! On middle, Uthappa looks to flick but closes the face of the bat early. It goes off the leading edge back to the right of the bowler. He takes it and starts celebrating. It is taken upstairs. Replays are too close to call and it is in the end, ruled in the favor of the batter. Rohit is not happy but can't do a lot about that.
Is that a fair catch? The replays roll in and it looks quite tight. However, the decision goes in the favour of the batter as the ball seems to be grounded as Hrithik Shokeen tries to take that catch. So Robin Uthappa will continue.

Riley Meredith To Robin Uthappa
That was not needed! What could have been a dot, ends up in a single! A slower one around off, Uthappa guides it to short third man. He wants a run but is sent back. A needless shy from the fielder there at the keeper's end, he misses and the ball rolls to mid on for one. Still though, a really good over, 2 from it only.

Riley Meredith To Ambati Rayudu
Good length and on middle, Rayudu looks to drop and run but Robin sends him back.
DRINKS! Mumbai have done well to take two early wickets but since then, the experienced pair of Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu have played well and taken Chennai to comparitively safer shores. Mumbai need wickets here to put pressure back on Chennai as one or two decent partnerships will take them over the line. We have seen plenty of thrillers over the years, between these two teams and one or two wickets here will make it quite interesting. Let's see how things pan out in this middle phase!

SIX! Fails to do so and the last ball spoils the over completely! Chennai are 46 for 2 and despite the two wickets, they will be happy with the position they are in! This is right in the slot. Full and on middle, Uthappa shows the full face of the bat and hits it well over the long on fence. Unadkat got a little too full there.

Daniel Sams To Mitchell Santner OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Two down early now and Sams is doing what Mukesh Choudhary did for Chennai! The ploy to send Mitchell Santner at number 3 fails and Mumbai will believe now! It is a short delivery, around off. Almost a similar delivery like the one Sams bowled in the last ball of his first over. This time, however, it hurries, Mitchell Santner on the pull shot and he gets a top edge. The ball goes in the air towards mid on and Jaydev Unadkat takes an easy catch.

Daniel Sams To Ruturaj Gaikwad OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What a start for Mumbai and the crowd erupts! This is short and wide outside off. Ruturaj Gaikwad cuts it but does it aerially and the ball goes straight into the hands of Tilak Varma at point. He takes the catch and Mumbai have got the early wicket they needed. Can they put pressure on Chennai now, Mumbai is a champion team and we can expect them to fight till the end.
