Needing 132 runs to win, MI innings started with a wobble as Deepak Chahar struck on the second ball as he trapped MI skipper Rohit Sharma before the wickets. Harbhajan Singh then gave CSK their second breakthrough as Quinton de Kock was caught in the deep by Faf du Plessis.

However, Surya and Ishan Kishan steadied the ship for MI. While the two did not go after the bowlers, they kept the scoreboard ticking, with Surya cashing in whenever there were opportunities to go big. (IPL 2019, Qualifier 1 MI vs CSK: AS IT HAPPENED)
