Captain Harbhajan Singh‘s decision to bowl first seemed to be spot on as Mumbai Indians bowled out defending champions Chennai Super Kings 112 in the opening match of IPL 2012, which Mumbai Indians reached in 16.5 overs. It was an easy chase for Mumbai, with Richard Levi, who was also the man of the match, lighting up the MA Chidambaram stadium with some big hits in his debut IPL innings. The South African batsman scored a quick fifty in just 35 balls which included three sixes and six fours.
