No traas, only happy memories from this splendid victory! 🙂 Good night, Paltan! 

We are gonna go now, join the team in the dressing room. Some hugs, some cake smashes and much more!! 🎂 Milte hain fir Sunday ko, #MIvCSK mein, aiming to make it three on the trot!

Paltan, aaj khush toh bade hoge tum!!! We are back with a BANG, we are back with a STATEMENT WIN! 🎶 Tonight's gonna be a good night... 🎶

The run chase began with RO's fiery start and then every batter contributed handsomely to complete the run chase comfortably. 🎉 A bit of hesitation towards the end but nonetheless, consecutive wins for the first time this season... IT'S CELEBRATION TIME!!!

11:20 PM IST: And that's the victory sealed in some fashion!!! 🥳 As dominant as it gets! The way the bowlers went about their business, we pocketed more than half of this match in the first innings itself. 

Umm...

We are in a hurry to finish this off...

10:58 PM IST: Shotttt bolte HP! That stand-and-deliver four towards mid-wicket made us go 🤌 26 off 30 needed now... 

A mature innings, Will Jacks! 💪 A 26-ball 36 knock that entertained our Paltan throughout!

10:46 PM IST: 41 required off 42. Seven wickets in hand. Paltan, we can smell our first consecutive victories this season... 🤞

Full mazaa aa rela hai bhidu!!! This is the brand of cricket we are accustomed to playing, FOR REAL. 🙌 Dominating every over of this run chase, hitting boundaries at WILL while Surya दादा going about his customary shots. WE. ARE. SO. BACK!

10:33 PM IST: This update deserves a time stamp. SKY advances and goes BIG over Mid On. 🚀 Long on... Long on... SURYAKUMAR YADAV!!! Our score reads 106/2 at the end of 11 overs.

Mission chase is 🔛 for SKY आणि Jacks as the two right-handers seem to be in hurry to get this done!! 🥰

10:19 PM IST: A good 23-ball 31 knock comes to and end and Ricky भाऊ departs off Harshal Patel. 

It's a ctrl+c and ctrl+v of the incident that happened in the first innings! Rickelton's wicket. BUT it's a no ball as Klassen attempted to collect the ball in front of the stumps. 🙏 Rule are rules my friend...

10:01 PM IST: #NowPlaying - Rickelton's raadaaaa! 🎥 Following a steady start, the soutpaw breaks the shakles and sends a few deliveries towards the boundary ropes!

9:50 PM IST: Nahi yaar... 🤕 RO is on his way back after fiery beginning and setting the tone for the chase.

🗣️ "A masterful pull shot and way it goes sailing into the stands for a six" – The commentator sums up that RO maximum perfectly!

9:31 PM IST: Rohit-Rickelton are in the middle. Chalo, run chase shuru karte hain!

**********

We'll get back shortly with the run chase... manifesting a cracking batting show as well, reminiscent of our bowlers! ✌️

9:18 PM IST: Okay, a flurry of boundaries propel SRH to 162/5 in their quota of 20 overs. Nonetheless, this bowling effort is ONE FOR THE AGES! Conceding no six till the 17th over against a 🔥 SRH team is simply STUFF OF DREAMS!

9:07 PM IST: 5th wicket kiske naam? BOOM BOOM ke naam!!! Heinrich Klaasen's off stump goes for a vacation and Bumrah adds a wicket next to his name. Ekdum kamaal!! 😇 SRH is now at 136/5 after 18.1 overs.

9:00 PM IST: It's Boulty's turn now to join the party!!! Our bowlers have kept it super quiet thus far, just not letting the SRH batters get away, and Trent Boult's been leading the charge with yorker after yorker. And now, he has Nitish Reddy's name against his! Three overs to go, 115/4! Let's get this home, boys! 

Final five overs to go, SRH scoreboard reads 105/3.

8:50 PM IST: My word, the way our boys have contained the SRH batters, giving no freebies... Nothing but COMMENDABLE!!!! 👊

Only two wides and a wicket from that over. 🤌 Jacks WILL deliver the goods and he did!!! 🤓

8:32 PM IST: Teesra wicket, #AalaRe! That No Ball doesn't hurt much as he departs for 28 off 29 balls off Will Jacks! 👌 No Head-ache tonight... 😬

Paltan, we haven't conceded a single six so far and we are talking about a 💥 batting unit which is known to deal only in sixes! Just speaks volumes about our disciplined bowling so far! 🙌 SRH's score after 11 overs is 81/2.

Yeh kya hua??!! 😭😭😭 HP dismisses struggling Travis Head but unfortunately, it's a No Ball. Koi nahi, life mein aisa hota rehta hai...

8:15 PM IST: Ek se bhale do and Will Jacks gets us our WICKET NO. 2! 😎 Ishan Kishan is the next to bit the dust and we are now stamping our authority!!! 

8:10 PM IST: Hardik back on his feet and THERE'S THE FIRST WICKET! 😍 Abhishek Sharma departs courtesy of a brilliant catch by Raj Angad भावा!!! Lessssss goooooooooo!!!

Now HP looks in some discomfort. 😥 Not a good sign!

8:01 PM IST: A wicketless powerplay, but we have definitely kept it tight, not letting the Travi-shek duo free their arms. 👏 SRH's scorecard reads 46/0.

Think slower ones are the way to go tonight... 👀

7:46 PM IST: Good fielding, Karn bhai!! Almost a CHANCE off the final ball of Deepak Chahar's second over.
Umm, we see a lil bit of blood, hoping it's not something serious Karn. 🤞

7:35 PM IST: That's some start to the proceedings. 😯 Two SUPER CLOSE chances for us! Achhi shuruwat hai...

7:29 PM IST: Paltan, akkhe Mumbai mein goonjne do! 🔊 GANPATI BAPPAAAAAA… MORYA!!!!! 🙏
