CSK vs MI, 43rd match at Chennai, IPL, May 08 2015 - Match Result

Thanks for all your comments and feedback. Time to sign off. Ciao ciao.

"The Mumbai Indians are never beaten till the last ball is bowled," says Ricky Ponting. Today, they didn't even let it go to the last ball. Excellent finish provided by Hardik Pandya, who is also the Man of the Match. He says, "I was batting very well in the nets. It's good they have faith on me. I can hit the ball very hard. It was the most emotion I have gone through. I had to target the straight boundary, because side boundaries are slightly long. Ball was always coming to me in the field. This is the best opportunity for me."

Rohit Sharma: "He strikes the ball really well. It was a gamble between him and Bhajji, but Hardik being a batsman, we had to go with him. We wanted to win this badly. We always knew it was a difficult wicket. We knew they were going to pull it back at some stage. But we wanted to bat deep. We lost a couple of wickets in the middle which wasn't good. But in the end we won, special thanks to Rayudu and Pandya. We dropped a few catches, which is not good for a top team. But to restrict them to 158 was a good effort. We were determined to change it around (the poor start), wanted to come back strongly. Very happy where we stand right now. It's not over. With the table so tight, we need to continue playing well."

MS Dhoni says: "I was pushed to take the decision (to bring Negi in the 19th) because our fast bowlers didn't bowl well. Negi has bowled well, he was under pressure, no problems that it didn't come through. It was more a tactical error. You will drop a few catches, it's bound to happen. But some fielders were not really in the field, it's important to give your 100%. "

This is Bombay's fifth win in five games. It has been a massive massive turnaround after the horror start. And what a venue to do it in. Super Kings had not lost a game in Chennai for the last two years ( they didn't play here in 2014, though) and let it slip through the fingers. Bombay had an excellent start to the chase, given by a half-century stand between Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons, but Super Kings came back brilliantly in the middle overs, drying up the boundaries. And just when it seemed it was over for Bombay, there came Pandya. The 25-run 19th over turned it around completely.

Swami: "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle explained by Dhoni. "Some fielders were not really in the field" !"

This is easy now.. this is very very easy. Bravo to bowl

What an over this was! Twenty five runs in the over. No wonder Tendulkar was all smiles, appreciating the hitting from Pandya

Aswin: "The Question is which Pandya is it - Original or cloned?"

What a change now! Three sixes for Pandya.. This could be a stroll for Bombay.

30 off 12 sounds much worse than 51 off 24. Negi to bowl

Pandya is the next man

34 off last three sounds much better for Bombay compared to 51 off 24.

Harish: "12.3% of important catches have been also been dropped by South Africans. True story." ---- That one I believe

51 runs needed off 24 balls.. Super Kings have squeezed Bombay Indians into a corner

Nehra ji comes on. 2-0-28-0
