Ishan Kishan fell victim to a brilliant delivery from Marco Jansen, while Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir's dismissals added pressure on the home team. However, Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the innings, displaying his class and determination with a magnificent century. His partnership with Tilak Varma steadied MI's ship, guiding them towards the target with composure.
Yadav's century, which included spectacular strokeplay and calculated aggression, not only secured the win for MI but also bolstered their net run rate.
