Rohit Sharma rediscovers touch as Mumbai Indians steamroll Chennai Super Kings
Rohit Sharma (76*) and Suryakumar Yadav (68*) made light work of the 177-run target, leading the Mumbai Indians to a commanding 9-wicket victory over the Chennai Super Kings. CSK struggled to rein in Rohit and SKY, who took full advantage of the spinners, sending the ball flying to all corners of the ground.
Rohit notched up his first half-century of the season, looking absolutely in his element during his 45-ball innings, which propelled MI to the sixth spot in the rankings. On the flip side, Chennai faced their sixth defeat of the season, leaving them stuck at the bottom of the points table.
Ravindra Jadeja managed to break the vital 63-run opening partnership by taking out Ryan Rickelton for 24 in his very first over. Still, Chennai found themselves on the back foot as Rohit continued to dominate the bowlers.
