Mumbai Indians finally found their winning way against Chennai Super Kings as they triumphed by 8 wickets in the match at Pune. Chasing 170 runs, the openers Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis played well by hitting boundaries and running between the wickets.
Suryakumar scored 44 runs before being dismissed by Bhajji. Rohit and Lewis held the nerve and played a very good role in scripting a win. The match lasted till the last over and the Chennai bowlers showed their class and character in their middle overs.
Though Lewis was dismissed for 47 runs, Rohit hit his second half-century of the tournament and was unbeaten on 56* (33). The match eventually turned to be Mumbai”s one in the 19th over when Rohit amassed Thakur for four boundaries.
Twitter went so crazy as Mumbai are now placed in the sixth position ahead of RCB and Delhi.

A quality captain’s knock by @ImRo45. 5️⃣3️⃣ of 3️⃣1️⃣ balls.
That over should ideally help @mipaltan finish this game. #Hallabol #CSKvMI #VIVOIPL

Mumbai win their second match and stay in the hunt. It's good for the tournament that all teams are in it as far as possible. In both of Mumbai's victory, Rohit Sharma has scored a half century. He must bat in the top 3. #CSKvsMI

Dwayne Bravo Was Not Given The Last Over Because Then #MumbaiIndians Would've Lost And Asked Rohit Sharma To Resign As Captain. Mastermind MS Dhoni Has Just Ensured #CSK Don't Meet Mumbai Indians In Finals. 💛🙊🙏#CSKvMI #CSKvsMI #MIvsCSK #Dhoni pic.twitter.com/VlnTuE8BOO
