Hopes they learn each passing games.

Time for some interviews!

Credit though to Simarjeet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary who rocked Mumbai inside the Powerplay with 4 wickets. That might have got the Chennai fans and the players to believe. Hrithik Shokeen and Tilak Varma though played brilliantly. The two showed great maturity and responsibility. They added just under 50 before Hrithik fell. The stand though had taken their side close to a victory and in the end, Tilak along with David ensured there were no more wickets to fall and took their side over the line.
