Meanwhile, speaking of the match, after having won the toss, MI skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to field first. However, despite getting early wickets in the middle stage of the match, the decision seemed to have backfired for Mumbai.

Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan's batting heroics led Mumbai to a sensational victory over Punjab Kings

The hosts gave an early jolt to the visitors in the form of Rohit Sharma. Thereafter, Cameron Green too after getting a start threw away his wicket and left Mumbai reeling at 54/2 at the end of the powerplay. However, this did not stop the Kishan-Yadav duo to charge hard on the visiting bowlers of MI. By the time Suryakumar (66 off 31 balls) departed, MI had already posted 170 runs in their run chase. Opener Kishan showed his attacking cricket today with brisk innings of 75 runs in just 41 balls.

Consequently, with the target in near sight, cameos of Tim David (19* off 10) and Tilak Varma (26* off 10) took MI over the line with a sensational victory over the hosts with seven balls to spare.
