The former Mumbai Indians skipper hits an unbeaten 76 off 45 balls to guide his team to a nine-wicket win over Super Kings
MUMBAI: There were divided loyalties inside the Wankhede Stadium for the Sunday crowd with an equal splash of yellow and blue to watch the two most successful IPL franchises — Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings — go head-to-head. Even though MI raced to a comfortable win, there were reasons to cheer for both the camps. MI for the return to form of their batting star and ex-captain Rohit Sharma 76* (45b, 4x4, 6x6) and CSK in having discovered Ayush Mhatre, one for the future.
The present though, the ongoing season, continues to be one to forget for CSK as a team. As a contest, this match wasn't one. MI scored a 9-wicket win by chasing down the 177-run target in just 15.4 overs.
When MI came out to chase, Rohit Sharma was searching for form. Multiple single digit scores later he had showed glimpses of regaining his hitting touch in the previous match against SRH. But a soft dismissal had put paid to that effort. On Sunday, Rohit would have none of that.
