Though Mumbai Indians (MI) were playing against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at their home ground at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, it was the visiting team that enjoyed most of the crowd support.
The Yellow Fever rose further when MI lost their top three batters by the third over, with just 11 runs on the board, while chasing 207-6. In fact, half-way through the second innings there were hardly blue-jersey donning MI supporters left in the stands as most had left long before the hosts suffered a massive 103-run defeat after being bowled out for just 104 in the 19th over.
