00:00After four straight losses, Mumbai Indians handed debuts to two new players.
00:09But Dinesh Malawa only lasted four deliveries on his.
00:16Kagiso Rabada wasn't only targeting fresh meat as he got veteran Quinton de Kock too.
00:24The five-time IPL champions were in repair mode with Suyakuma Yadav and Naman Deer at the crease.
00:31But Rabada compounded their troubles with his third scalp.
00:36Deer and Tilak Varma compiled a 52-run partnership.
00:42But the right-hander couldn't get to 50 himself as he fell for 45.
00:48Varma though took charge of proceedings at that stage.
00:54The stylish Southpaw went on a rampage, blasting the Titans' bowlers to all parts.
00:59He single-handedly injected hope into the Mumbai innings.
01:03That's a terrific shot to bring up his half century.
01:06And he deservingly got to triple figures after smashing eight fours and seven sixes.
01:16Varma's heroics transformed Mumbai's innings from one of obscurity to inspiration.
01:21Closing on 199 for five.
01:24And their inspiration was through the roof from bowl one.
01:27Gone wicked!
01:28Would you believe it?
01:30Would you believe it?
01:31It got even better by the second over.
01:34This looks close.
01:35This looks close.
01:36The finger goes up.
01:38That's another wicked now.
01:39But Gujarat's captain Shudmangil coming off three straight half centuries was a major threat.
01:45A little more tight off stump.
01:46However, Ashwani Kumar took care of that threat early.
01:50That should be taken.
01:51Yes.
01:53Mumbai Indians though were playing inspired cricket.
01:56I think now.
01:58Just.
01:59Oh, what a catch.
02:01Mitchel Santner's magical eighth over producing two scalps at 55 for five.
02:06Santner, a bit slower.
02:09But while his magic came in a pair, Ashwani Kumar's came in three.
02:13Yeah, squinty to cock.
02:15He says, that's why I did it.
02:16His three scalps putting Mumbai in the driver's seat at 86 for eight.
02:20That's number four.
02:23Mumbai's four-match losing streak was on the verge of being snapped.
02:26As Allah Muhammad Ghazanfa executed it quickly, Titans dismissed on 100, giving Mumbai Indians
02:34a long-awaited 99-run victory.
02:36Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
