"WE KNOW HOW CALMING MS DHONI CAN BE" - MI CAPTAIN ROHIT SHARMA REACTS AFTER CSK'S LAST-BALL THRILLER!

Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma talked about his defeat in the IPL league match against CSK.

The 33rd league match of the IPL series was played at the Mumbai Stadium yesterday. The Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings and the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians clashed. CSK won the toss and elected to bowl.

Batting first, Mumbai scored 155 for 7 in 20 overs. Tilak Verma top scored with 51 and Suryakumar Yadav with 32. For Chennai, Mukesh Chaudhary took 3 wickets, Bravo took 2 wickets and Mitchell Santner and Theekshana took 1 wicket each.

Following this, CSK batted with a target of 156 to win. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa were the opening batsmen. In it, Ruturaj was out in the first ball itself that he faced. Following this, Robin Uthappa, who was paired with Mitchell Santner, put on an excellent performance. Mitchell was out for 11, followed by Robin Uthappa for 30.

The pairing of Ambati Rayudu and Shivam Dube alliance at this time revealed a sober game. Shivam Dube was out for 13, followed by captain Jadeja. But he was also shocked by being out for 3 runs. He was followed by Ambati Rayudu (40).

Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni (28) and Dwaine Pretorius (22) were the main contributors in the match. Thus the CSK team was in a position to win if they scored 4 runs off the last 1 ball. Dhoni, who was on the field at the time, led the team to victory.

Speaking about the defeat after the match at this stage, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said, "In the end, it was a great fight from us. We were right in the game. After batting not so well, the bowlers kept us in the game all through. In the end, we know how calming MS Dhoni can be and he took them home."
