Mumbai Indians lost a wicket in the first over of the game but Rohit Sharma came and he played an amazing innings of 50 run off 26 balls. Lendl Simmons stroked 68 runs off 45 balls. The partnership of the duo worked as a miracle for Mumbai Indians and the undisciplined fielding of Chennai Super Kings gave Mumbai a fair chance to change the game completely.
