In reply, Rohit Sharma fought valiantly with a century to his name. However, his efforts were in vain as Mumbai Indians continued to lose wickets consistently, ultimately falling significantly short of the 207-run target set by Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad lauded Dhoni's performance, while Hardik Pandya mentioned his cricketing acumen that helped CSK bowlers during the second innings.

“Our young wicketkeeper scoring three sixes down the order helped a lot and I think that was the difference,” Ruturaj Gaikwad said. 

“They bowled pretty well and Pathirana was the difference. They were smart with their plans and used the longer boundary well. They got the hang of it and they have a man behind the stumps telling them what's working,” Hardik Pandya said after the match.
