3 days ago | thehindu.com | Amol Karhadkar

Suryakumar Yadav was at his marauding best on Sunday night. But it was the return of Rohit Sharma’s form with the willow that made the Mumbai Indians camp happiest at the Wankhede Stadium. After all, Rohit had had a quiet – to say the least – Indian Premier League campaign until the big game against Chennai Super Kings. In six innings, he had tallied only 82 runs and had had very little impact despite being used as an Impact Player for most of the season.

The ability of big players to raise the bar in the most challenging conditions separates them from others. It was on display in abundance on Sunday night in the marquee clash in the Indian Premier League between the most successful outfits in the league.

As he returns to lead the men in yellow, M.S. Dhoni will be expected to sprint to a cameo and give the CSK campaign a much-needed boost at the start of the latter half of the IPL.
