Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar and Vignesh Puthur chipped in with a wic🍌ket each, but LSG’s batters kept the scoreboard ticking.
MI falters in chase despite Surya-Hardik effort

Suryakumar Yadav then anchored the innings with a brilliant 67 off 43, striking nine boundaries and a six. But with wickets tumbling around him, the pressure m🌃ounted.
