Surya Bhau's brilliance was seen.

On Wednesday, Mumbai Indians won at the Wankhede Stadium thanks to the half-century of 'Player of the Match' Suryakumar Yadav (73 not out), followed by three wickets each by Mitchell Santner and Jasprit Bumrah.

Heartfelt praise for Bumrah-Santner

When Pandya was asked after the match whether having Bumrah and Santner in the team is a 'luxury', he said, 'Absolutely. I can put them in to bowl whenever I want. They do their job with so much control and perfection that it makes my job easy.'

Pandya said, 'We initially thought that a score of 180 runs would be good. But now it seems that reaching 160 runs would have been great. But the way Naman Dheer and Suryakumar finished the innings, especially Naman, the way he hit on a difficult track, it was fantastic.'
