What do teams do generally when they play Mumbai Indians on a boundary hitting ground like the Wankhede? Pack the side with bowling options. One look at the CSK XI on Sunday tells you that eight members could bowl. Barring Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana, Ravindra Jadeja and Mustafizur Rahman, you also had Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, and Shivam Dube. All of them could have bowled an over each.
But despite them being available, they stuck to the five bowler theory to do the job and defend 206 against a powerhouse batting line-up.
