Impressive half-centuries from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav powered Mumbai Indians (MI) to a powerful nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a one-sided Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Jasprit Bumrah (2/25) was the top bowler for MI.

During the run-chase, after a 63-run stand between Rohit and Ryan Rickelton (24 in 19 balls, with three fours and a six), Rohit (76* in 45 balls, with four boundaries and six sixes) and Suryakumar Yadav (68* in 30 balls, with six fours and five sixes) chasing down the total in 15.4 overs.

What a performance by MI! Rohit and SKY were absolutely unstoppable today 🔥 That partnership was pure fire. CSK just had no answers to their batting onslaught.

As a CSK fan, this was painful to watch 😔 Our bowling attack looked completely toothless. Need to bounce back strong in the next match!

While MI's batting was spectacular, I think the article could have analyzed Bumrah's bowling more. His 2/25 in 4 overs was crucial in restricting CSK to a chaseable total.

Suryakumar Yadav's 68 off just 30 balls was insane! He's back to his best form just in time for the T20 World Cup 🏏🇮🇳

Interesting stat about MI having the most wins against KKR. The Mumbai-Kolkata rivalry doesn't get talked about enough in IPL discussions.

That debut by Ayush Mhatre was promising! 32 off 15 balls is impressive for a teenager. CSK might have found a future star 🌟
