‘10 Rupay ki Pepsi, Tim Bhau sexy’- Twitter can’t keep calm as MI chase down 212 on back of Tim David’s sensational 45 off 14 against RR

The 1000th match of the IPL was a thriller, as the Mumbai Indians took on the Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Royals won the toss and elected to bat first, and their decision was vindicated by a brilliant century by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 124 runs off just 63 balls.

Jaiswal was well supported by the rest of the top order, as the Royals posted an imposing total of 212/7 in their 20 overs. The Mumbai Indians were left with a daunting task of chasing down the target, but they got off to a poor start, losing early wickets.

It was then that Suryakumar Yadav, who had been struggling for form in the tournament so far, stepped up and played a brilliant innings. He scored 55 runs off just 29 balls, hitting 8 fours and 2 sixes along the way. Cameron Green also played well, scoring 44 off 26 balls, but the Mumbai Indians still needed someone to play a match-winning innings.

That someone turned out to be Tim David, who played the innings of his life to take the Mumbai Indians to victory. David scored 45 runs off just 14 balls, hitting 2 fours and 5 sixes in the process. He hit 3 sixes in the last over to win the match for the Mumbai Indians, sparking wild celebrations in the crowd and in the dugout.

It was a remarkable win for the Mumbai Indians, who looked down and out at one stage, but managed to pull off an incredible victory thanks to the heroics of Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David. The Rajasthan Royals will be left to rue what could have been, as they failed to defend a massive total despite the heroics of Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Overall, it was a fitting way to mark the 1000th match of the IPL, with a thrilling contest that had fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
