Highlights, IPL 2021, CSK vs MI Full Cricket Score: Chennai win by 20 runs to go top of table

23:45 (IST)

That's all from us. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage. We'll see you again tomorrow for the KKR vs RCB game. Have a good one! 

23:43 (IST)

Ruturaj Gaikwad, PoM: "One of my top innings until now, given the pressure we were under. I had to grind it out, bat 10-12 overs, give myself time and then slowly 140-150 was possible. Mahi bhai, and everyone in the CSK management, once they back you, they don't make you think anything but positive things. The Sri Lanka tour and preparation coming here helped a lot."

23:42 (IST)

CSK captain MS Dhoni:

"At 30/4, you want to put up something respectable on the board and Ruturaj and Bravo got us more than what we expected. To end up with close to 160, it was a tremendous effort. The wicket was two-paced, slightly slow to start off. Also it's difficult if you're batting lower down, if you don't get a chance to see what is happening, you want to go hard. Rayudu got injured, so it was tough to come back from there but we batted sensibly and finished superbly. It was sensible for one batter to bat right through to the end."

23:41 (IST)

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 88.

23:29 (IST)

Dwayne Bravo: "To start our campaign with a win is a very good feeling. Batting is very important, now I bat lower down the order with a batting line-up like CSK, but it's about trying to win key moments, capitalise on the 12 balls I get. Or if there's 11 overs left, adjust and adapt. It's about keeping my shape, adjusting. Ruturaj batted really well, he's a quality player."

23:26 (IST)

MI captain Kieron Pollard:

"Ruturaj batted really well. We didn't finish off well with the ball. Losing by 20 runs you know those were the extra runs we conceded. Surface was good, new ball had movement, our seamers got early wickets. But we wanted to continue that momentum all the way. Even though they got 150-plus, as a batting team we could've gotten that. Losing three wickets was a cardinal sin for us."

23:25 (IST)

Top of table now!

Excellent win for CSK! 

Superb defence by #CSK of fairly modest score on plumb pitch. Gaikwad’s brilliant knock gave his team hope, which Dhoni exploited with shrewd bowling changes and field placements. Without Rohit and Hardik, MI clearly vulnerable. Win puts CSK top of table. #Gaikwad my MoM for sure

23:22 (IST)

CSK win the match by 20 runs. Three singles and two wickets in the final over for Bravo. CSK got off to a bad start with the bat but then Ruturaj Gaikwad played a blinder to give his team a chance. Chasing 157, Mumbai kept losing wickets at regular intervals of time and fell short at the end. A typical CSK bowling performance led superbly by their talisman MS Dhoni.

23:20 (IST)

That's it!

CSK win the match by 20 runs. Three singles and two wickets in the final over for Bravo. 

23:18 (IST)

Another wicket for Bravo in the final over. 

Rahul Chahar hits this one straight to Raina at mid-wicket. Rahul Chahar c Raina b Dwayne Bravo 0(1)

23:16 (IST)

Milne goes for the big shot against Bravo. Gets the connection but it is straight to the fielder at deep midwicket. Milne c (sub)Gowtham b Dwayne Bravo 15(15) 

23:15 (IST)

After 19 overs,Mumbai Indians 133/6 ( Saurabh Tiwary 48 , Adam Milne 15)

Mumbai needed a big over and they have got runs. After the five balls, Shardul ends up bowling two wides but he finishes with a dot ball. 15 runs off this one but so they need 24 runs in the final over. Looks very tough but anything can happen.  

23:11 (IST)

Slower ball, Milne picks it and sends over long-off. A much-needed six for Mumbai Indians.

23:09 (IST)

Overpitched and it's wide by Shardul. Saurabh smacks it through extra-cover. Good start to the over. 

23:08 (IST)

After 18 overs,Mumbai Indians 118/6 ( Saurabh Tiwary 43 , Adam Milne 7)

Deepak Chahar has the ball. Looks like he has pulled his hamstring as he runs to bowl his first ball. He's in discomfort but he'll finish the over. There's a catching chance against Saurabh who tries a ramp shot but loft it into the air. Dhoni and Bravo both go for it but they end up making a mess of it. Looks like both players called for it neither heard the calls. 39 needed from 12 balls.

23:04 (IST)

Saurabh whacks it in front of the wickets. Long-off fielder has no chance. 

23:01 (IST)

After 17 overs,Mumbai Indians 108/6 ( Saurabh Tiwary 35 , Adam Milne 5)

Hazlewood bowls his last over. Saurabh slices as the ball runs towards deep point for one run. Milne then tries to pull a back of a length delivery, doesn't get the timing right as the ball falls in no man's land.  Saurabh also tries to play a big shot but the ball bounces a couple of times before reaching the long-on fielder. Just four off the over and the pacer finishes his quota with figures of 1/34. 

22:56 (IST)

After 16 overs,Mumbai Indians 104/6 ( Saurabh Tiwary 33 , Adam Milne 3)

Bravo starts off with a slower ball, Milne pushes it down towards extra cover for a single. Saurabh takes a double and then gives the strike back to Milne. Bravo then bowls a yorker to an advancing Milne who dugs it out to take one run. Another blockhole delivery for no run to end the over. Seven off this one.

22:49 (IST)

After 15 overs,Mumbai Indians 97/6 ( Saurabh Tiwary 29 , Adam Milne 1)

Adam Milne is the new batsman after the fall of sixth wicket. It could've been a risk giving Moeen the ball at this moment but he does well and CSK also sent back Krunal. The required run-rate is 12. Saurabh and the lower-order have to play a blinder now if Mumbai has to win the match from this position.

22:47 (IST)

Run-out! 

Another one bites the dust. Krunal Pandya wanted a quick single but Saurabh sends him back. He's well short as Bravo and Dhoni combine complete the dismissal. Krunal Pandya run out (Dwayne Bravo/Dhoni) 

22:44 (IST)

Kohli to leave RCB captaincy!

22:44 (IST)

After 14 overs,Mumbai Indians 91/5 ( Saurabh Tiwary 26 , Krunal Pandya 2)

Krunal Pandya is the new batsman and he's off the mark with a single. CSK have the advantage now. Mumbai need 66 runs from 36 balls with Pollard back in the pavilion. Both Krunal and Saurabh can hit the ball big but let's see how pressure plays a role here. Just four off the over.

22:39 (IST)

What a ball! 

Hazlewood traps Pollard in front of the wickets and this looks very close. Umpire says yes and CSK celebrate a big, big wicket. Pollard takes the review but it's futile. There's no doubt about this one. It's plumb. Pollard lbw b Hazlewood 15(14)  

22:37 (IST)

After 13 overs,Mumbai Indians 87/4 ( Saurabh Tiwary 24 , Kieron Pollard (C) 15)

Shardul into the attack. Starts off by bowling on the pads as Pollard gets off strike with a single. Pollard then pushes one down to cover and takes off to complete a quick run. Five singles from this over so a good return by Shardul.

22:32 (IST)

After 12 overs,Mumbai Indians 82/4 ( Saurabh Tiwary 22 , Kieron Pollard (C) 12)

Bravo vs Pollard could be a fascinating contest. National teammates who play for arch-rivals in the IPL. Both players have won many games over the years for their respective franchises. Let's see who'll taste a win tonight. Seven off the over. Mumbai need 75 runs off 48 deliveries.  

22:29 (IST)

Saurabh picks up the slower ball from Bravo and places it in the gap on the off-side. 

22:28 (IST)

After 11 overs,Mumbai Indians 75/4 ( Saurabh Tiwary 17 , Kieron Pollard (C) 11)

Jadeja takes the ball and gives away a boundary off the first ball. Too much power on that shot from Saurabh Tiwary. Then Pollard showcases his power by hitting one towards the stands. Costly over from Jadeja as he concedes 13 runs.

22:26 (IST)

Wow! 

Pollard picks up the straight ball and sends it over deep mid-wicket. Power written all over this one. 

22:24 (IST)

Saurabh smashes this one against Jadeja down the ground for a boundary. 

22:23 (IST)

After 10 overs,Mumbai Indians 62/4 ( Saurabh Tiwary 11 , Kieron Pollard (C) 4)

The skipper Kieron Pollard is new batsman after Ishan's dismissal. Bravo squares him up with a superb ball which moves slightly away after pitching. He ends the over with a boundary as Pollard gets off the mark. 95 runs needed from 60 balls. 

22:22 (IST)

Bravo offers width to Pollard who says thank you with a boundary. Crunched through covers.  

22:19 (IST)

Bravo strikes! 

Full and wide, Ishan hits it straight to the fielder at cover. Poor shot and no wonder he's disappointed. Ishan Kishan c Raina b Dwayne Bravo 11(10) 

22:18 (IST)

Slower ball from Bravo, Ishan gets a big inside edge and it reaches the boundary. 

22:15 (IST)

After 9 overs,Mumbai Indians 54/3 ( Ishan Kishan 7 , Saurabh Tiwary 11)

Moeen continues. Ishan comes down the ground and lofts it towards long-on but it lands safely as the batsmen take a single. He then plays a sweep, trying to pierce the gap between long-on and deep mid-wicket but finds the fielder so just one run. Six singles in the over and timeout taken. 

22:12 (IST)

After 8 overs,Mumbai Indians 48/3 ( Ishan Kishan 4 , Saurabh Tiwary 8)

Shardul Thakur continues. Saurabh goes for the drive against a short of length ball but gets beaten. Shardul then bowls a bouncer, Saurabh pulls as the ball reaches the fielder at fine-leg on one bounce. Two dots, three singles and one more dot to end the over. 

22:07 (IST)

How good is DC! 

That roar from Deepak Chahar! How good he is inside PP overs. 42 wickets for him inside PP overs - most by any bowler since 2015. Deepak made his IPL debut in 2016. #MIvCSK

22:07 (IST)

After 7 overs,Mumbai Indians 45/3 ( Ishan Kishan 3 , Saurabh Tiwary 6)

Spinner Moeen Ali is introduced into the attack. The field is spread so Ishan and Saurabh are happy to deal the over in singles. Just four from this one. Mumbai Indians need 112 runs in 78 balls. 

22:05 (IST)

After 6 overs,Mumbai Indians 41/3 ( Ishan Kishan 1 , Saurabh Tiwary 4)

Trent Boult and Adam Milne did it for Mumbai in the powerplay and now, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur provided key breakthroughs for CSK in the second innings powerplay. Three big wickets down for Mumbai so they are in a spot of bother. 

22:03 (IST)

Saurabh Tiwary is off the mark with a boundary. Timing on his off-drive is really good. 

22:02 (IST)

Shardul Thakur removes Suryakumar Yadav! 

The batsman tries to go over the covers, the ball hits the toe end of the bat and rises up. Faf completes a good catch. Anmolpreet Singh b Chahar 16(14) 

21:59 (IST)

After 5 overs,Mumbai Indians 35/2 ( Suryakumar Yadav 2 , )

Deepak Chahar pitches it up, Suryakumar plays a lovely drive straight down the ground but Faf du Plessis pulls off a good dive to his right and saves three runs. Chahar then bowls a nice bouncer to Anmolpreet who tries to play the pull but is beaten on the pace. A superb change of pace in the final delivery which results in Anmolpreet's dismissal. Just one run and a wicket in this over.

21:58 (IST)

Chahar strikes again! 

Knuckle ball, Anmolpreet tries a slog but misses. The stumps are disturbed. Anmolpreet Singh b Chahar 16(14)  

21:55 (IST)

After 4 overs,Mumbai Indians 34/1 ( Anmolpreet Singh 16 , Suryakumar Yadav 1)

Anmolpreet shows how good he is when the ball comes on to his pads but also displays his off-side prowess. Not enough room but the batsman times his drive to perfection as he ends the over with a four. Costly over by Hazlewood as he concedes 14 runs.

21:52 (IST)

More runs for Anmolpreet. He punches through cover for a boundary off Hazlewood. 

21:51 (IST)

Similar shot by Anmolpreet but this time he clears the rope. A maximum!  

21:50 (IST)

Straight ball by Hazlewood, Anmolpreet flicks it in the air and it's in the gap. 

21:49 (IST)

After 3 overs,Mumbai Indians 20/1 ( Anmolpreet Singh 2 , Suryakumar Yadav 1)

Quinton de Kock was looking good but he missed a straight delivery from Deepak Chahar and it resulted in his dismissal. MSD was very confident and so was Chahar who didn't even look back at the umpire during the appeal. Suryakumar Yadav is off the mark with a single down the leg-side. 

21:48 (IST)

Good review!
