He played the first 3-4 innings quite brilliantly. Then, for some strange reason, they sent him water. In the middle of the over they sent him some kind of drink. Then Hardik Pandya came in and talked to him. When the bowler is in this rhythm and mentally he is also in place, no one had to say anything to him. Maybe from a distance they could just say well played, Gavaskar told Star Sports.

Defending 13 runs, Mohit made four perfect yorkers and gave up just three runs off the first four balls, but failed to hit 10 off the last two balls as Ravindra Jadeja scored six and four off subsequent innings.

Going over there and talking to him, I don’t think it was right, because all of a sudden he was looking back and forth. Up to that point he was focused, and I don’t think what they did was the right idea. Because after that he started running, he added.

The win made Chennai Super Kings the most IPL titles (5) along with Mumbai Indians.
