That brings us to the end of our live coverage of today's game. Join us again tomorrow as SRH take on RR at Hyderabad. Till then it's goodbye!
Jasprit Bumrah (Man of the Match): You go ball by ball and you try to control the controllables. You try to back yourself in the situation. You don't go too far behind, I was just focussing on my plan and trying to back my strengths. I always try to back myself in any situation and execute the plan to perfection. I have always taken care of my body.
Jasprit Bumah is the Man of the Match for his figures of 4-0-20-3.
Rohit Sharma (winning captain): I just got to know when we crossed the rope. These kind of things are not good for cricket, one of the Bumrah's deliveries wasn't a wide. Players can't do much. Very disappointed to see that. Anything over 180 is a good score. We know the condiions here and we got the bowlers to get the job done. We didn't panic, we kept sticking to our strengths. Middle overs are very crucial. We stuck to our plans and I think it was a great effort from the bowlers. Malinga has been the part of MI for a long time, you can always trust those guys in the back end. They bought experience into play. We were quite brave to bowl the delivereies we bowled. Bumrah executed well and we just missed a trick in the middle with the bat. Those are the kind of things we need to rememeber when playing big games. We were upto the mark today. We all understand Hardik's importance in the side. Whatever happened with him, he needed that confidence. Batted well and got us those crucial runs in the end.
Krunal Pandya: It was a great game. We were in-out throughout the second innings. The way Bum bowled, he is a legend The way he's giving consistent performances whether he is playing for India or Mumbai Indians; he is outstanding. Whatever I have seen of Hardik this year, he's striking the ball very well. For me, it was excepted, what he did. He's in a good mind space. I'm pretty sure he'll be delivering for MI consistently. It's important to get a win in the 2nd game only, sets the momentum for the team. All are looking good. Specially when you win matches like this, you grow as a team and a player as well.
Virat Kohli: We playing at the IPL level and not playing club cricket. The umpires should have had their eyes open. That is a ridiculous call at the last ball. If it is a game of margins, I don't know what is happening. They should have been more sharp and careful out there. When they were 145 for 7, we should have done better. The last few overs were brutal for us. A few more strikes apart from AB could have done the job for us. We need to be smarter at death bowling. Sure they guys will take a lot of learnings from the game. I think the way they bowled, we can learn from their game. The onus is always on each and every member of the team. I got out at a wrong point of time. Shivam was good as well. I mean Jassi is a top-class bowler. A bit of a mistake from me to take him on at that stage. Mumbai is lucky to have him. And also Malinga. And if Jassi is in good form, it is good for India.
Whenever there is trouble, eyes move towards Bumrah. And he always delivers. This time the pupil lead the way and the master (Malinga) held his nerve

Hardik’s knock in the end. #RCB’s woes with their death bowling.... #RCBvMI #IPL

Thrilling win for MI. Superb bowling by Bumrah and Malinga in last 2 overs. Not easy to stymie ABD in full flow. But some luck too with the last delivery, a no ball, not being called!

IPL cricket doesn’t get much better than that. Bumrah and Malinga—two of the best death bowlers the world has ever seen—against de Villiers—T20’s greatest batsman, at one of the great venues—the Chinnaswamy Stadium. #IPL #RCBvMI

There's big controversy after the final delivery as replays reveal Malinga was an inch out of the crease. The umpire hadn't called for a no-ball and that could've just cost RCB the game. Virat Kohli is furious and is fuming on the field.
