Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya attempted to stabilize the innings towards the end, with Krunal scoring a quickfire 41 not out off just 22 balls. Their efforts helped the Mumbai Indians to end their innings at 165, albeit a total that would prove insufficient against the formidable CSK lineup.

Bravo struck 3 fours and an impressive 7 sixes, marking a stellar strike rate of 226.66, showcasing his capability as a finisher.

Assisting him in the chase were Kedar Jadhav and Ambati Rayudu who added vital runs. The pair helped stabilize the innings as CSK steadily approached the target. Despite losing wickets, including the skipper MS Dhoni for just 5 runs, the presence of Bravo ensured that CSK kept moving ahead, sealing the game with 7 balls to spare.
