Every time Hardik Pandya smashed the ball into the stands en route his sensational unbeaten 25 off eight balls that helped Mumbai Indians post a fighting total against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, he pumped his fist in the air. The aggression and energy lifted the spirit of the Wankhede crowd.

Pandya on song
Later, Pandya dismissed CSK skipper MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the same over with his nippy pace to turn the tide in MI's favour. Pandya claimed his third wicket in the final over to finish with 3-20 as MI handed CSK their first defeat of this IPL. Returning to form will not just keep Mumbai Indians in good stead during the IPL, it is also a huge boost for the World Cup-bound Indian team.
