Chasing a total of a massive 195 runs to win Roy played an outstanding knock of 91* runs to take his side home.

Despite of that he hit Mumbai bowlers through all parts of the ground to take the visitors to 50 without loss in 5 overs.

After that the home side again got the wicket of Glenn Maxwell, but Roy remained calm and took his team home along with Shreyas Iyer, who also remained not out on 27 from 20 deliveries.
