Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets as Rohit Sharma hit 56 off 33 balls, which helped MI to clinch the victory in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 at match at the MCA International Stadium on Saturday
CSK has 10 points from 7 matches while MI have 4 points from their 7 matches. Suresh Raina blasted the MI bowling and scored 75 as CSK in a disciplined batting effort reached the total of 169/5 in their 20 overs.
Raina who was sitting out for a couple of matches because of a calf injury, smashed 4 sixes and 2 fours and also Ambati Rayudu hit 46 off 36 balls continuing his impressive form
This was an all or nothing game for MI as they needed to win this game to stay in the tournament. All Mumbai Indians batsmen have struggled in the tournament except Suryakumar Yadav.
Captain Rohit Sharma has failed to play well in 5 out of 6 games and Kieron Pollard is also out of form. But if the Mumbai Batting line up which includes if Rohit, Pollard, Surya, Evin Lewis and Hardik Pandya fire in unison, Mumbai can play well, set big totals and win matches.
Except a 94 against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rohit has not gone beyond 20 runs in the other matches. He is surely hoping to get back into form and score well again for MI
Although Mayank Markande has exceled and has taken 10 wickets from six games, none of the other bowlers have come into form and they have failed to perform as a unit. The 20 year old Mayank has been the surprise find of the MI, this season.
Bumrah and Rahman have also failed to perform and take wickets, and have not lived up to the MI expectations. If MI have to win more matches they will have to focus on building big scores and taking wickets at regular intervals
