Commentary

That was it from this fixture. Mumbai Indians won the match and won the heart on an ESA day in Mumbai. We will shift our focus to the next game where GT are taking on RR at Ahmedabad. But before shifting, let me finish off the job here. I am AkshayaKrishna Polya signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arijit Kundu, who, alongside our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav will bring you all the live-action of this mouth-watering fixture. Join us in the next game. Until then, it's cheers!

Venkatesh Iyer: "Thank you, would have been happier if we had finished on a winning note but nonetheless, pleased with my batting. That is the role that management has assigned to me, and it is my responsibility to repay them. Obviously, it was a lovely wicket to bat on. Once you've scored 30-40 runs, scoring becomes easy. I'm overjoyed to have scored a hundred. Their new ball bowlers are both swing bowlers, and it becomes difficult once they settle down. So I didn't want to allow them to settle. It becomes easier to play them once the swing goes off. When you're out there doing something for the team, you forget about your injury. The wicket was fantastic, and I was having a great time out there. In retrospect, I believe we scored 15-20 runs fewer, and the way MI was going, they could have scored it in another over. But yeah, we were short."

Player of the Match: Venkatesh Iyer

Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai Indians Captain): "Obviously we are happy. And that is what the chat was all about before the game. I would have loved to finish the game but happy with the way I batted. I was very pleased with how the team performed. We thought the wicket was a little dry in the afternoon, but the way the guys batted settled it down in the evening. In day games at the Wankhede, 160-170 is a good score and can be chasable too if one gets a good start. That is what exactly Kishan did. He got us off to a great start. I took my time with the first five-seven balls, thinking that if I could get my eye in, I could score. I walked onto bat very confident, relaxed and tension free. We know what kind of firepower we have lower down the order if the top order gives us a good start. (Piyush Chawla) It was a legendary spell. He raised his hand when were under pressure. He always asks for the bowling whenever the pressure is there."
