Mumbai Indians demolish CSK at Chepauk to reach IPL 2019 summit clash

On a sluggish pitch, which offered considerable turn and odd bounce, Suryakumar Yadav batted in a copybook fashion scoring an unbeaten 71 off 54 balls with MI reaching the target of 132 in 18.3 overs.
The target of 132 set by the homeside wasn't a big one but once the below-par Chepauk pitch was factored in, the chasing team had its own set of challenges. IN PIC :Bat slips off the hands of CSK captain MS Dhoni as he plays a shot against Mumbai Indians.
