If the first part of the evening belonged to a fiery Naveen ul Haq, whose 4 for 37 made everyone feel wary about MI's final score, Madhwal reassured the faith that his skipper showed in him. (Photo: Sportzpics)
Naveen, who has been under spotlight since his angry exchanges with Virat Kohli during a league game against RCB, was constantly booed by the Chepauk crowd but he did well enough to dismiss the MI star batters. (Photo: Sportzpics)
Suryakumar Yadav (33) and Cameron Green (41) gave some momentum to the innings with a 66-run third wicket partnership in a little over six overs. (Photo: Sportzpics)
The impressive Moshin Khan (1-24) conceded only 6 runs in the penultimate over before Wadhera stepped up the pace in Thakur's next, the final over of the innings. (Photo: Sportzpics)
