Rohit Sharma, MI captain, won the toss and elected to bat first in the game against Chennai Super Kings (SRH) at Wankhede, Mumbai April 16, 2015. Batting first, MI posted a decent total of 183/7 in their 20 allotted overs, thanks to Kieron Pollard (60) runs and Rohit Sharma (50) runs. Chasing a target of 184, CSK made short work of it as they reached the target with more than 3 overs to spare as McCullum and Smith tore the MI bowling to pieces.
Here are some of the best Tweets from the game:
Yes a Test match was more interesting than initial overs of MI innings today…

Corey Anderson Ouch, but true it is…

Not sure if it is appropriate language, but reaction of MI fans summed up in one Tweet! But it was before Pollard-Rohit Sharma show!
Fuck you, Mumbai Indians.
