| Suryakumar Yadav (79*) |
- Suryakumar Yadav (79*) helped Mumbai Indians chase down the the 165-run target in 19.1 overs with five wickets in hand.
- Devdutt Padikkal (74) and Josh Philippe (33) guided Royal Challengers Bangalore to 164/6
That's that from us tonight as well. MI on top of the table with 16 points and they have pretty much sealed their playoffs spot. Now the focus will be on to maintain the winning run and be in top 2. RCB started off well but lost the plot after 15th over in their innings and from there it was tough coming back. What a knock from Surya, two days after he was ignored by national team for tour of Australia, he makes a statement with the bat. It was fun watching him bat like this. All textbook shots played all over the park.
Surya Kumar Yadav, Man of the Match:
Surya: I was looking to finish the game for a long time, I used to think about it, so I worked hard learnt how to do it. I do a lot of meditation and that is what is helping me (to remain calm on the field). I guess there were two shots I love, back foot punch to Steyn and one over covers off Chahal. I worked hard on my off side game during lockdown. Loving my time batting at No 3. When we started the tournament, Rohit and management told me bat as deep as possible, as it provides good platform for the team.
