With seven losses in as many games, Mumbai Indians will need a miracle to recover from this position, while it was a much-needed win for CSK, who, like Mumbai Indians, is looking for consistency after a shaky start to the season. Earlier, Choudhary (3/19) dismissed Rohit Sharma (0) and Ishan Kishan (0) in the first over before dismissing Dewald Brewis (4) to leave Mumbai at 23/3.

However, Varma’s unbeaten 51 off 43 balls, including three fours and two sixes, and Unadkat’s blazing unbeaten 19 helped Mumbai reach 150 runs.

But it was Mitchell Santner (1/16) who dismissed Surya, whose sweep was easily caught at long-leg by Choudhary, and Mumbai were reduced to 47/4.

Tilak and debutant Hrithik Shokeen (25), however, failed to rally the innings, adding only 41 runs for the fifth wicket. Ravindra Jadeja (0/30) gave up 13 runs in the 11th over, with Varma hitting a six with a slog-sweep.

Mumbai lost half of their team for a total of 85 points. Shokeen, who had three boundaries, top-edged a Dwayne Bravo (2/36) short-ball but was caught at mid-on by Robin Uthappa.

Mumbai’s wickets continued to fall cheaply, with Kieron Pollard (14) and Daniel Sams (5) also falling cheaply.

Mumbai, on the other hand, gave their bowlers something to defend thanks to a quick-fire 35-run eight-wicket stand off 16 balls between Tilak and Unadkat.
