1.1 edged and gone, swing away and caught in the slips! Lot of swing there from Kulkarni and Vijay was going for a drive, gets an outside edge and that flies off to the lone slip in the form of Rohit Sharma, takes it easily and first blood to Mumbai! 1/1

14.2 that’s cleared the backward square leg boundary … oh no it hasn’t! Kulkarni’s taken a splendid catch. Hussey flicked a length ball with the angle into him and he seemed to have placed it into the gap. Kulkarni ran to his left from deep square leg, caught the ball in the nick of time, and was able to stay inside play by arresting his momentum 106/4

1.2 inside edge and bowled first ball! what a start from Dhawal Kulkarni, he was nowhere in the team for the first many games, suddenly gets a couple and he is making the ball talk, second wicket for him, it was outside the off stump and there was a bit of wobble, Raina went for a drive, gets an inside edge and is bowled! 1/2

Badri hit through the line, lofting the ball on the up, over the bowler’s head. Rohit ran to his left from long-on and judged the catch well because he was on the move when he reached the ball 95/3

15.1 Jadeja is second time unlucky. He threw his bat at a length delivery angling across him and made contact with the bottom of the bat, wide outside off stump. The ball went high in the air and Rohit ran back from point to take a fine catch, watching the ball as it fell over his head 114/5

4.6 from Jakati, gone, Tendulkar is run-out, almost sacrificing it for Smith! That was cut away to the backward point, fielded well by Jadeja, Smith was going for the run and Tendulkar was not, the fielder throws it to the non-striker’s end and Tendulkar decides to make that sacrifice by crossing over. In the end, he also speaks to Smith to not worry about it and carry on hitting…! 47/1

13.3 caught behind! They’re edging everything, and Bravo’s hamstring seems perfectly fine as he takes off on a spirited celebratory run. Franklin tried to pull a delivery that was not that short and was too close to off stump. He got a bottom edge, which Dhoni stooped to catch 102/6

11.5 massive wicket for Super Kings! Rayudu has slog-swept the flighted offbreak straight to Vijay at deep midwicket, who does a little jig after taking the catch. Rayudu has finished many games for Mumbai this season, he won’t finish this one. I think Vijay was trying to move like Jagger Bravo 96/5

17.6 Pollard tries to hammer a short ball from wide outside off stump, he ends up mis-hitting it high in the air towards long-on, where Raina settles under the catch and takes it. A great moment between the two Trinidadians, Bravo seemed to be telling Pollard to get on a plane. Mumbai Indians are outta here. Pollard took that little send off well, and there were smiles at the end of it. He and Bravo get along. 129/8

14.2 Raina’s taken a superb catch! And Harbhajan’s IPL could be over. He slogs again at a short of a length ball outside off and slices it high in the air past point. Raina ran back from inside the circle, kept his eyes on the swirling ball, kept his balance, judged it perfectly, and took it over his head 103/7
