MI have a lot to worry about after losing their second successive match in this season. In this story, we revisit some of the best moments from the match that saw some remarkable performances.

Four overs. 20 runs. Three Wickets. Ravindra Jadeja. What a comeback this has been from the star all-rounder since his knee injury. He was excellent in the Tests vs Australia and he is excellent here in T20s. Jadeja was fittingly adjudged the Player of the Match as he sent back Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green and Tilak Varma to push MI on back foot. (Image source: Twitter/CSK)

Nobody saw this coming. If one can desrcibe this knock in musical terms, this was a certain banger. Rahane, batting at No 3 for CSK in this game vs MI, smashed 61 off just 27 balls, a knock that included 7 fours and 3 sixes respectively. That was some way to make headlines again. Rahane, that was special. (Image source: Twitter/CSK)

Ruturaj Gaikwad's solid 40

An excquisite timer of the cricket ball, Gaikwad took his own time on Saturday night. He played a gritty 40 off 36 deliveries as he controlled his shot making and ensured that he guided the team home in a tricky chase. Gaikwad, 26, has shown remarkable consistency and maturity while opening the innings. It seems he has been given the role of an aggressor when CSK bats first and asked to anchor when they chase.
