In the 27th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Mumbai ✨Indians (MI) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a record chase at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday.

Chasing 219, the defending champions had a remarkable start as Rohit Sharma, and Quinton de Kock added 71 runs for the op🔯ening wicket. However, then CSK made a comeback and reduced MI to🅷 81/3.

Before the MS Dhoni-led side could capitalise from here, Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard sent shockwaves to CSK as they ended up forming a much-needed 89 runs partnership for the fou🃏rth wicket, with Pollard playing a bliste🤪ring knock.

Though Sam Curran removed Krunal on 32, Pollard stayed his end alive and kept on smashing humungous sixes. The West Indies power-hitter scored an unbeaten 87 runs from 34 deliveries to take his side over the finish line. Pollard slammed 6 fours and 8 maximums during his spectacular b🌱atting display.

Earlier, Ambati Rayudu took MI bowlers to the cleaners and smashed a brilliant unbeaten 27-ball 72 as CSK scored 82 runs in the last five overs to post an imposing total of 218/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Rayud𒉰u slammed 4 fours and seven sixes at a phenomenal strike rate of 266.67.

Before Rayudu’s heroics, Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali started the proceedings pretty well as the pair added 108 runs for the first wicket. While du Pless🌟is scored 50 from 28 balls, Moeen contribute🐻d 58 off 36 deliveries.

For MI, Pollard picked up two wickets for 12 runs in 2 overs. Pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult bagged one scalp each.
