During Sunday's clash, Matheesha Pathirana and an ageless MS Dhoni delivered decisive blows as CSK secured a 20-run win over Mumbai Indians despite an unbeaten century by Rohit Sharma.
In the thrilling IPL 2024 encounter at Wankhede Stadium, CSK secured a commanding total of 206 for four, propelled by an explosive display from Dhoni. The CSK legend hammered three consecutive sixes off Hardik Pandya's final over, racing to 20 runs from just four balls.
In response, Mumbai Indians (MI) faced a daunting chase, despite a stellar performance from their captain, Rohit Sharma, who notched up only his second IPL century, smashing 11 boundaries and five sixes in his 63-ball innings. However, Rohit's heroics were not complemented by sufficient support from the rest of the MI lineup, as they fell short, managing 186 for six.
The victory marked CSK's first away win of the season and propelled them to third place in the standings with eight points, while MI suffered their fourth defeat in six matches, languishing in eighth place. Despite the pitch remaining favorable for batting, MI couldn't capitalize, highlighting the competitive nature of the IPL.
