Meanwhile, pacer Mukesh Choudhary wreaked havoc with the new ball before Tilak Varma’s responsible half-century lifted Mumbai Indians to 155/7 in 20 overs.
Invited to bat, Choudhary (3/19) accounted for Rohit Sharma (0) and Ishan Kishan (0) in the first over and then dismissed Dewald Brewis (4), leaving Mumbai reeling at 23/3.
However, Varma’s unbeaten 51 off 43 balls, in which he struck three fours and two sixes, along with Jaydev Unadkat’s blazing unbeaten 19, helped Mumbai cross the 150 run-mark.
In response, Chennai Super Kings completed the chase in the final ball of the over, with MS Dhoni hitting the winning runs. The 40-year-old wicketkeeper-batter hammered 16 runs in the final four balls to guide his side home.
