Dhoni hit 3 sixes in a row
There is a saying in English called icing on the cake. It seemed as if MS Dhoni fulfilled this saying in the innings of Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni, who came to bat in the 20th over, hit sixes on 3 consecutive balls of Hardik Pandya. It was only because of his stormy innings of 20 runs in 4 balls that CSK was able to cross the score of 200.
Rohit-Ishaan gave a explosive start
Chennai Super Kings gave Mumbai Indians a target of 207 runs to win. Openers Rohit Sharma (105) and Ishan Kishan (23) gave a good start to Mumbai by adding 70 runs in 7 overs. But Mathisha Pathirana, who came in the eighth over, pushed Mumbai Indians on the backfoot by taking the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in two consecutive balls.

Mumbai’s back broken due to the tremors of Pathirana
Mumbai Indians could not recover from these shocks of Mathisha Pathirana till the end. Tilak Verma definitely scored 31 runs, but the rest of the batsmen proved to be Ayram-Gayaram. Captain Hardik Pandya walked out after scoring 2 runs. Tim David could score only 13 runs and Romario Shepherd could score only 1 run. The only consolation for Mumbai Indians was that Rohit Sharma completed his century in the last over. But this was such a century that even Rohit did not find it necessary to celebrate. This is the first time when Rohit scored a century and his team could not win.

Youngest 4 wickets
Mathisha Pathirana took 4 wickets for 28 runs in a spell of 4 overs and was chosen Player of the Match. Pathirana is also the youngest bowler to take 4 wickets in the match for Chennai Super Kings. Despite scoring a century, Rohit Sharma was deprived of the award for the best player of the match.
