The team will take only positive lessons from the game, and head back to the drawing table - to re-assess our strategies, our fitness levels, our playing spirits - and return to the pitch away at Gujarat Titans on April 25. Until then, goodnight and goodbye. 

We fought till the end

A quality game of cricket was brought to a close with our boys in Blue and Gold being handed a 13-run defeat.

Our three-game winning run might have halted, but there were plenty of positives - Arjun Tendulkar's first IPL wicket at home, Cameron Green's all-round show (67, 2/41), Suryakumar Yadav's 57 and a united MI Fa-MI-ly at the Wankhede Stadium. 

From 31 needed in 12 to 16 required in six balls

15 runs in the 19th over got us down to 16 required in six balls. Tilak Varma and Tim David vs Arshdeep Singh. The battle is on. Let's go!

Silencing the critics

23-ball 50. Crossing 6000 runs in T20 cricket. Aapla Dada is back in true Supla Shot style! However, he departs for 57.

Surya hits 50

Cam-eth the hour, cometh the man 

Cameron Green lighted up our run chase, plundering a 43-ball 67 to get the run chase 56 in the death overs. Not to mention this is his second consecutive fifty. 

100 crossed. Let's go!!

11.2 overs have passed, and we have gone past the three-digit mark on the scoreboard. Paltan! Your chants are needed here to push the MI boys to up the ante.

MI-lestone Hitman

First Indian and the third in history to hit 250 IPL sixes. Ro-Hit Sharma. We'll leave it here. 

Powerpoint charcha

Rohit Sharma and Cam Green steer Mumbai to a powerplay score of 54/1, shortly after the Blue and Gold boys crossed the first checkpoint: 50 in 5.2 overs. 

Pre-happy birthday to Sachinnnn....

Intermission

Wickets from Cameron Green, Jofra Archer and Jason Behrendorff see Mumbai end their innings staring at a target of 215. If the blessings of our icon and our mentor Sachin Tendulkar are on our shoulders, a victory is guaranteed. Don't you think so, Paltan?   

Middle overs summary

MI bowlers lay down the speedbreakers, as they leak just 24 runs between 10-14. Promising this.

10th over: You know what to do, Paltan!

Remember the task? Are YOU READY? Let's hear it!!!!

Piyush Chawla: "You miss, I hit"

One believed, two was deceived. That is how we can sum up Piyush Chawla's dismissals of Liam Livingstone and Atharva Taide. One stumped out, one bowled.

Wankhede and Tendulkar: A bond for life!

Prabhsim-runs out of juice!

Thanks to..

Make believe!

Green ends Matthew's Short stay

Cameron Green spots Matthew Short's MI-stake, bowls a hard length, forces him to think he could play the pull shot. In the end, PC was waiting for him. The ending? A short story. 

CORRECTION: He is already with us

Paltan, we have a task for you!
