IPL 2018, MI vs CSK: 5 reasons why Mumbai Indians lost 

#1 DJ Bravo’s sensational hitting

Bravo came into bat when CSK needed an improbable 91 runs off 8 overs, with 5 wickets already gone. He started by launching the young leggie Mayank Markande straight over his head for a six.

However, the real show began in the 18th over. With 47 needed off the last 3, the ball was given to Mitch McClenaghan who had been excellent till then. Bravo walloped him for 2 sixes and a four and suddenly the equation was down to 27 runs needed off the last 2 overs.

Then, the charismatic West Indian all-rounder launched Jasprit Bumrah for 3 sixes before being out caught off the last ball of the over. His sensational innings of 68 runs off just 30 balls ensured that Chennai was in touching distance of the target.
