IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians match (Updated)
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) completed a double over the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) with a seven-wicket win at the M Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, May 6.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl first. MI had an injury case in the form of Tilak Varma, who was replaced by Tristan Stubbs in the playing XI.
CSK were off to a perfect start by removing the new opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green early. Chennai's start further ripened after Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck, making him the player with the most number of ducks in IPL history.
Suryakumar Yadav and Nehal Wadhera put on a rescue act in the middle overs and got MI to a relatively safe spot. The duo put on 55 runs for the fourth wicket after MI were reduced to 14-3 at one stage.
Wadhera recorded his first IPL fifty and scored 64 runs before being bowled by Matheesha Pathirana. MI did not finish the innings on a bright note as CSK interrupted their momentum with constant wickets. The five-time champions eventually ended with 139-8 in 20 overs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway got CSK off to a flier, making MI's task of defending the paltry total even more difficult. The duo put on 46 runs in just four overs.
Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube chipped in with valuable cameos to wrap up the chase with over two overs to spare. This marked CSK's first win over MI in Chennai since 2010.
