MI vs CSK encounters are called the El Classico of IPL and this game has proved just why. Both teams batted beautifully on a placid Delhi wicket. However, Pollard’s power was a bit too much for the CSK bowler’s liking. Jasprit Bumrah bowled his most expensive spell ever in the IP in this match. He went for 56 off his four. Though CSK took three quick wickets in the middle overs, Pollard turned the match on its head for the five-time champions.
