India Today
IPL 2021: Mumbai Indians missed out on an opportunity to become only the 2nd team after Chennai Super Kings to reach 3 successive IPL finals. Sunrisers Hyderabad's run of 5 successive play-offs appearances came to an end.
It was the end of a dominant run for Mumbai Indians as the defending champions missed out on the play-offs race despite posting their highest-ever total in the history of the IPL against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win final league match on Friday.
Mumbai Indians had headed into the contest, knowing they needed a miracle -- a 171-run win or more -- against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Abu Dhabi. Riding on Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav's breathtaking 84 and 82, MI posted 235 on the board and won the encounter by 42 runs, but it was not enough for them to seal a spot in the final 4.
