Suryakumar Yadav (15 off 16 balls) also looked out of color and departed without bailing his side out of trouble. Youngster Tilak Varma (84* off 46 balls) played a sensational knock by maintaining his composure while wickets kept tumbling at the other end.Mumbai Indians reached a decent total of 171/7 on the back of his scintillating knock. Nehal Wadhera (21) and Arshad Khan (15*) chipped in with handy cameos to support him. At the mid-innings break, Tilak said:&quot;My plan was to adjust to the wicket and see how it was doing. It was holding slightly in the start. So, I thought I wanted to take my time and see how it goes. I always back my intent and my shots. I was asking my partners what a good score would be, and assessing that.&quot;He added:&quot;I would suggest the spinners were good because the ball was holding a bit. So, they were a little tough as compared to the pacers. Usually, I was thinking he was going for the wide yorker. I was just backing myself to punish him if he missed, so he was under pressure there.&quot;During the chase, RCB were 53/0 after the powerplay.
