It was Chennai's first match since their 2 years hiatus from the IPL and they faced none other than their bitter rivals Mumbai Indians. The match had a lot of expectations and it delivered in a fantastic way.

Chennai had won the toss and opted to bowl first, Mumbai put up a reasonable score of 165 runs thanks to Krunal Pandya's late cameo.

Chennai got off to a flying start but everything came crashing down after Watson's dismissal. From 42 for the loss of 1 wicket Chennai slipped to 54 for 4. Jadeja and Bravo were able to control the innings for some time before Jadeja got carried away and was dismissed with just 75 on the scoreboard after the end of 11th over.

Chennai was down and out of the match before Dwayne Bravo decided otherwise. Bravo demolished the Mumbai bowlers and smashed the ball all around the park. Bravo was dismissed in the last ball of the 19th over and Chennai needed 10 runs off the last over with just 1 wicket left.

Kedhar Jadhav who had walked back retired hurt came out to bat and finished the innings for Chennai which included a marvelous six over the fine leg boundary.

Bravo played an unbelievable knock of 68 off just 30 balls which included just 3 fours and 7 huge sixes with a tremendous strike rate of 226 which helped Chennai get over the line with 1 ball to spare.
