Khaleel Ahmed to Rohit, FOUR, overcorrects the length - overpitched close to off, Rohit does not try to overhit the drive, allows the ball to arrive and caresses it through extra cover. All timing from Rohit..

Khaleel Ahmed to Rohit, FOUR, deceived but still a boundary. Slower ball from Khaleel and Rohit does not spot it, he is through the drive and ends up chipping it wide of mid-off. Once in the gap at Wankhede, there's no stopping the ball

Jamie Overton to Rickelton, SIX, much needed hit for Rickelton. He was going at run-a-ball before this. Slower ball on leg-stump, Rickelton spotted that all the way and slotted it over deep square leg. The connection sound pretty good..

Jamie Overton to Rohit, SIX, this is what Overton was trying to avoid - bowling in Rohit's arc, this is right up in his slot and Rohit does not need a second invitation, he heaves across the line and comfortably clears deep mid-wicket

Jadeja to Rickelton, out Caught by Ayush Mhatre!! Excellent catch by the youngster. Jadeja breaks the opening stand. He's having some night. Runs with the bat and now strikes in his first over. Flighted from round the wicket, the ball drifts away and Rickelton has to fetch the slog sweep, does not generate enough power to beat deep mid-wicket, Mhatre settles in front of the rope and takes a well-judged catch. The debutant looked calm under a pressure catch

Ashwin to Rohit, SIX, first time Ashwin flights one to Rohit and he disappears into the stands. The length too was fuller and that allowed Rohit to get under the slog sweep, he launches it towards deep mid-wicket for a 79-meter maximum

Jadeja to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, follows the inside out loft with a sweep. He kneels down, gets inside the line and sweeps it backward of square. The angle of Jadeja was bringing the ball in and Suryakumar used that to his advantage
8.3
Jadeja to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, fabulous shot! Full pitcher on leg, Suryakumar makes room and lofts it inside out over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes. That's a typical Suryakumar shot against the away turning ball

Timeout!
Mumbai Indians are cruising here. The asking rate is just over 8 and they have 9 wickets in hand. Rohit set the tone in the powerplay and gave Mumbai Indians their best start of the season. Though Rickelton fell to Jadeja, these two have found the boundaries regularly and kept the scoreboard moving. Chennai Super Kings need a couple of wickets soon if they are to keep this game alive.

Jadeja to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, nicely done! It's quick through the air and full outside off, Suryakumar Yadav crouches in his stance and fetches it from there. Maintains his balance nicely and sweeps it all along the ground through square leg to find the fence

Ashwin to Rohit, 1 run, fifty for Rohit, his first one of the season! He has looked determined tonight and has applied himself as well after taking his side off to a flier. These are great signs for MI. A gentle raise

Noor Ahmad to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, make that three boundaries in a row! A floaty full ball around off, Suryakumar Yadav crouches in his stance and nails the sweep through square leg. Hit it all along
12.5
Noor Ahmad to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, good manipulation of the field! A tossed up full ball on middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav whips it uppishly. He has bisected long-on and deep mid-wicket to perfection
12.4
Noor Ahmad to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, streaky but counts! A floated full ball well outside off, Suryakumar Yadav goes for the slog sweep but gets a top-edge over the keeper. Pathirana from short third runs back and slides near the fence but is in contact with the ropes when he had the ball in his hand

Pathirana to Rohit, FOUR, the runs keep flowing! A fullish ball outside off, Rohit opens his bat-face and creams the drive past the right side of backward point. Sweeper cover doesn't have any chance of stopping it

Pathirana to Rohit, SIX, Rohit throws his bat this full length delivery and gets it off the outer half of the bat towards third man. Khaleel in the deep reverse cups it over his head but he can’t maintain his balance properly. Did he release the ball before his foot touched the ropes? The replay shows that a part of his right boot was touching the ropes when he had the ball in his hand

Pathirana to Rohit, SIX, the 100-run partnership comes up between the duo! A high-full toss around the hips, Rohit swipes it over fine leg for a maximum. Rohit straightaway takes the review as he feels it's a waist high no ball. The replay shows that it was dipping on Rohit and would have gone below his waist so it's a fair delivery

Partnership: 101(51)
