 Chennai Super King’s formidable unit was handed their first shock defeat at home this season, by relatively unknown Hardik Pandya’s 8 ball 21 including three sixes in a 25-run penultimate over from Pawan Negi settled a dramatic chase for Mumbai Indians. Lasith Malinga could not play in Chennai, because of a state government ban on Sri Lankan players playing in Tamil Nadu.
