Currently, one the biggest rivals of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are locking horns with each other at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

However, De Kock started the third over with a six over the square leg boundary followed by a four on the very next ball of Deepak Chahar. After facing a dot ball, De Kock dismissed by the bowler on the third delivery while attempting a pull shot. After his dismissal, Lewis and Rohit started a partnership and the former got a huge lifeline in the final over the powerplay. They added 75 runs for the second wicket before, Lewis getting out in the 13th over.
