Hardik Pandya has finally delivered for Mumbai Indians with the ball by picking an important wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the all-important clash between MI and CSK. Ruturaj Gaikwad demoted himself to number 3 and came with great intent as he smacked 69 off 40 balls before Hardik Pandya's slower delivery got the better of CSK skipper.
It was the second delivery of 16th over and Mumbai Indians needed the wicket badly as Gaikwad was looking very dangerous with five sixes and five fours in his knock. Hardik Pandya knew that Gaikwad will go after him again and bowled an off-pace delivery on off.
Gaikwad went for a big slog across the line but could only manage the top edge as the ball went high in the air towards long on. Nabi in the deep ran to his left and took the catch comfortably as CSK ended up losing a big wicket of well-set Gaikwad.
