IPL 2022: Mystery girl spotted during CSK vs MI game gets netizens talking, check viral pics - While the CSK vs MI match proved to be a huge crowd puller, a mystery girl from the crowd got netizens talking on Twitter on Thursday.
A Pollard special
There is no denying that the pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium for Saturday’s game between MI and CSK was great for batting. Chennai’s innings earlier, in fact, was the first in IPL history that had two century partnerships. Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali and especially Ambati Rayudu were brilliant and helped CSK post their highest ever total against Mumbai.
The small dimensions of the ground favoured the batsmen too, as was apparent from the 14 fours and 16 sixes hit by Chennai.
But none of these factors can take away from the magic of Pollard’s innings, for he, in his inimitable style, dragged Mumbai home when a Chennai victory seemed a foregone conclusion.
