Mumbai Indians star batsman Hardik Pandya has been in super form with the bat this campaign for MI, who are looking to win a record fourth title. Pandya has been a match-saver in MI's big clashes, most of which led Mumbai to win the match. He has so far scored 393 runs and has also taken 14 wickets, this season.

Pandya tweeted an image on Friday with a caption that said: "Ready for the battle royal." The post comes on a day when his IPL side Mumbai Indians will know who they will face in the final which is scheduled to be played on Sunday.


On a sluggish pitch, which offered considerable turn and odd bounce, Suryakumar played one of his finest knocks on a challenging track as Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in the first Qualifier, entering IPL final for the fifth time on Tuesday.

The difference was created by the three Mumbai Indians spinners Rahul Chahar (2/14 in 4 overs), Krunal Pandya (1/21 in 4 overs) and Jayant Yadav (1/25 in 3 overs), who gave away only 60 runs in the 11 overs between them taking four wickets.

CSK were 10 runs short of the par-score even on a challenging track where Surya made batting look easy.
