Suryakumar's 68 in vain as Mumbai join fellow sufferers Chennai Super Kings at the bottom of the table
Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: @sreshthx
That's all from us for Saturday. Two more games tomorrow, so we'll see you after lunch, won't we? Till then, ta-da!
11.37pm Time for the presentation.
Anuj Rawat is the Player of the Match: "It feels great to score runs in a winning match. I was just following the process. I was not being able to connect in other games, today did it well. Hope for many more to come. RCB team has given us confidence but they have backed me even when I couldn't finish the game. Enjoying the company of Virat bhaiya and Faf."
Subburam: "There is this famous dialogue from a Tamil movie that says "it doesn't matter if it's a marriage or a funeral, I should be the one the town talks about ". MI and CSK performances this year validates it!"
Winning captain Faf du Plessis: "Mumbai are a quality team and we had excellent bowling for atleast 18 overs. There was something in it for the bowlers in the first innings. We didn't want to give them a good start. Rohit played some good shots but his wicket was valuable. Akash Deep bowled really good tonight. It was just one of those nights, where you mix bowlers around and they keep getting wickets. (The chase) Very good, Anuj. I spoke about him before the tournament, he has potential and we talk a lot to develop game awareness. Comes down the wicket, shows intent, he's a very good player for the future."
Mukhlis: "I think CSK will start to win when Deepak Chahar is comeback. But, it is difficult for MI because their issue with the ball will exist until the end of this season."
Sancasm: "Going too hard for Jofra during the auction, looks like MI completely forgot about their bowling unit for 2022 IPL."
Csk fan: "Who would have thought both MI and CSK will be at the bottom of the table at the start of this IPL?"
Samrat Ahuja: "Irrespective of the result, Man of the match should be given to SKY! Although Rawat batted extremely well, Surya's innings was a class above rest!!"
PRASAD REDDY Mu: "Dear MI, THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US IN OUR TOUGH TIMES.....REGARDS CSKIANS"
Wanindu Hasaranga: "Normally my googly turns more than legspin, so that's why I bowl googlies more. We have lot of good talent. So whenever I get a chance I am ready to take it."
Rohit Sharma: (two overseas players) Just went with the combination that would be ideal. We chose the best from whatever we had. I wanted to bat as long as possible but got out at the wrong time. We had gotten off to a 50-run partnership, but got out at the wrong time. That is hurting us a little bit. Definitely not a 150-run pitch, Surya showed us you can do that if you bat sensibly. Credit to Surya, but we knew it wasn't going to be enough. (Areas of concern) We want batters to bat deep. And if you get runs on the board, there's something for the bowlers to do."
11.20pm Make that 0 and 4 for Mumbai Indians. And ended in style by Glenn Maxwell with two sublime shots. Faf du Plessis walks out to lead the handshakes. Harshal, Hasaranga and Akash Deep ensured that all Mumbai Indians could crawl to was 151. On this surface, with dew around, it was never going to be enough even if you account for Faf's slow start. Anuj Rawat grew into his innings with 66, Kohli looked sublime in his 48, and both Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik showed they are seeing the ball so well. RCB go 3-1, and move right between the table leaders on six points.
Mumbai have issues with both bat and ball. Kishan is not being aggressive enough, or his timing isn't coming on. Pace bowling barring Bumrah is also an issue.
V Kohli lbw b Brevis 48 (56m 36b 5x4 0x6) SR: 133.33
Eight off 12. Here's some Brevis legspin
Their start has been far from ideal, but if there's one thing Mumbai know, it's mounting a comeback late in the season

Fantasy XI recommendations for the IPL 2022 game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians
Mumbai have lost three in three, and need to turn it around against a team that will be reinforced by the addition of Glenn Maxwell
