  2. Keiron Pollard (87*) registered highest ever IPL score after 14 seasons. This knock is however is 16th 50.
  3. Pollard also won his 13th Player of the match award and his second in this edition. The IPL edition in which he won Player of the match on more than one match was in 2013.
  4. Faf du Plessis (50) becomes the second batsman to score 300 runs with 4 fifties and no 100s so far in this edition. He also is in second place for most runs in this IPL now with 320 runs (behind KL Rahul’s 331 runs).
  5. The loss is just Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) second in their last 10 matches. This loss also breaks their 5-match winning streak. However, in terms of all time IPL record, MI has won 20 matches over CSK’s 13.
