In the 27th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Chennai S📖uper 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 opening wicket. However, then CSK made a comeback and redꦉuced 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 p𒆙artnership for the fourt💜h wicket, with Pollard playing a blistering knock.

Though Sam Curran removed Krunal on 32, P෴ollard 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 batting 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. Rayudu 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 ad✅ded 108 runs for the first wicket. While du Plessis scored 50 from 28🐈 balls, Moeen contributed 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.

Rayudu was brilliant for Chennai but when someone like Pollard gets going in that mood, even the opposit🎶ion can only do this.
