Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Krunal Pandya lost his cool against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) despite his team dominating the match. Krunal was not happy with the fielding effort at backward point and the short third man.
CSK batsman Imran Tahir bisected Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan with his late-cut and collected four runs. Getting hit for a boundary by a tailender might have hurt Krunal and took out his anger on the fielders.

Suryakumar had put on a dive but he missed out, and even Ishan chased the ball but it was too fast to stop. Krunal can be seen shouting at the fielders.
Here is the video of the incident:
Tahir and Sam Curran put up a partnership of 43 runs to take them to a respectable total. At one stage, CSK looked like getting bowled out under 100 runs. But it was Curran's half-century which saved his team from humiliation.
Mumbai Indians were not bothered by a target of 115 runs. Their unbeaten opening stand was enough to end all hopes of CSK. But it was Trent Boult who got picked as the Man of the Match for his 4/18 in four overs. He was the one who destroyed CSK inside the powerplay.
