Rahul Chahar to Ambati Rayudu
OUT! Caught! Is this the turning point in this game? The man who was hitting the ball nicely and taking the game on to Mumbai departs, Rahul gets his first of the season and the well-set Rayudu is out of here. Floated leg spinner around off from Rahul. Rayudu comes down the track and looks to go over long off. It hits the lower half of his bat and goes high in the air. Rahul Chahar runs behind and calls it to be his catch. He manags to take a very good catch tumbling. 42 needed off 24 balls now. Mumbai back in the hunt! End of a fantastic knock from Rayudu. He will be fuming not to take his side over the line.
