Chennai Super Kings lost to Mumbai Indians by 4 wickets in the 27th match of the IPL 2021. CSK after losing the toss and batting first posted a target of 219. However, Pollard single-handedly snatched the win from Super King's hands. After the match, CSK captain MS Dhoni said, “It was a brilliant wicket. The difference was the execution. Not being too tough on bowlers, we dropped catches at crucial intervals. The bowlers would execute better and learn from this. If you look at how it went. we were very off target when it came to execution. “

“It is important to do that. The wicket was easy to hit. In a tournament like this, you will win and lose a few close games. When you are under the pump, you learn a lot. Irrespective of where we are in the points table, we take one game at a time. We hardly ever focus on where we are standing at the table. That has been our good point along the way.“
