At the match’s conclusion, with floodlights casting elongated shadows, Rohit made his solitary journey back to the pavilion.
After being put into bat, CSK posted a formidable score. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s lively innings of 69 off 40 balls and Shivam Dube’s unbeaten 66 from 38 deliveries were pivotal in setting the score.

MS Dhoni’s 20 not out off the last four balls of Chennai’s innings was the difference as the visitors scored 206-4 in 20 overs. Mumbai could only reply with 186-6.
In their chase, MI found strength in Rohit’s century. However, the remaining batting lineup struggled to make an impact, with only Ishan Kishan (23) and Tilak Varma (31) getting off to starts but failing to convert them into substantial innings.
CSK’s bowlers, spearheaded by Matheesha Pathirana with four wickets, maintained relentless pressure, ultimately limiting MI to 186-6.
Reflecting on the match, MI captain Hardik Pandya acknowledged that the target of 207 was attainable, particularly considering the conducive batting conditions at Wankhede Stadium where dew aids batting in the second innings.
