On the other hand, for Chennai, Dhoni played with the same.

Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya scored 44, 47, 56 and 13 runs respectively. Rohit Sharma hit the winning runs to register the much needed win. 

Earlier, Rohit Sharma won the toss and his decision to bowl favoured the team as well. Mumbai all together were looking very balanced and composed.

The way team Chennai has come along in the tournament, the total score, which 169 runs looks a bit less to what it was expected of the "Yellow Brigade."

MS Dhoni too contributed with his bat and scored 26 crucial runs for the team and hit some magnificent shots.
