- Scorecard

# Hussey is the second batsman after Virat Kohli to post six fifties in IPL 2013.

# Michael Hussey (86 not out off 58 balls) registered his first fifty against Mumbai Indians in seven innings at the IPL. The knock is the highest individual score by a Chennai player against Mumbai at the IPL, bettering Suresh Raina's unbeaten 83 at the Brabourne stadium on March 25, 2010.

# Hussey's aggregate of 732 at 56.30 in 16 matches is his highest in an IPL edition besides becoming the first Chennai player to amass 700 runs in an IPL season.

# Two batsmen have totalled 700-plus runs for the first time in an IPL season. Earlier, Chris Gayle had amassed 708 (ave. 59.00) in 16 matches.

# Gayle was the first to do so -- 733 (ave.61.08) in 15 matches in 2012.

# Hussey registered 12 fifties apart from a century in the IPL, overall.

# Hussey and Vijay were associated in a partnership of 52 -- their 13th fifty-plus for the first wicket -- the most by a pair for any wicket.
