11.35pm Our statsman Bharath Seervi says: With the 80-run win, MI's NRR has climbed from -0.435 to -0.082. They move to 3rd position with 14 points; 1 game left."

11.38pm Zaheer: 200 is always tough to chase. We have been fantastic as a bowling unit throughout the tournament. Today was a tough day. We did not have the luxury of a third seamer at that stage to Krunal. He played the spinners well. We have to stay positive. We just need some boost at the back end of the tournament. Three games, and we can win two out of three. The advantage is we have our home games coming up in Raipur.

Rohit: Much-needed win for us. We were playing some good cricket, but not consistent cricket. We put pressure on them from the first ball. Everyone took the responsibility and batted the way we wanted them to bat. We wanted to win with a big margin and today was the perfect the day. Special mention to Krunal Pandya. He played some fearless cricket. The wicket was not easy. For the last three years since I have been captain, it has been up and down, but we have got the results. We have been in this position before.

Krunal Pandya, Man of the Match: I was happy with the way I played. I knew there were two legspinners and one left-arm spinner and I hit the big shots. I was just going with the flow and I was just picking the googlies. The [bicep] gesture was to my brother Hardik. After scoring a fifty, that was to tell him I did it and hit many sixes (laughs). To Polly, I showed my power and took the bowlers on. I asked Polly to give the strike so that I can hit. I just want to dedicate this innings to my parents, Hardik. Hardik really encourages me. I also want to thank my coach Jitendra Singh.

Ricky Ponting, Mumbai Indians coach: Krunal Pandya played one of the innings of the tournament. Krunal knows only one way to play: aggressive.

Samrat Ahuja: "3rd biggest victory for MI in terms of runs in all IPL's.

Akshin: "Bumrah didn;t conceed a single boundary. Nice work."

Pratik: "Krunal has the highest strike rate among all batsmen who have scored atleast 100 runs in this IPL!!192.56!!"

sid: "Paaandyaaaaa."

I'll leave you with Arun Venugopal's ripper on the Pandya brothers. Ciao.

Vinay Kumar to Morris, 1 run, OUT, Morris is caught short on the second, despite a dive. Picked away off the pads to square leg. Rayudu hunts the ball down and fires a nice, flat throw to Buttler who does the rest. He stands in front of the stumps and flicks it back, à la MS Dhoni. The despairing dive from Morris isn't enough. Non-existent second. Rohit applauds Rayudu
