Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, completely overwhelmed the weak bowling attack of Mumbai Indians to win yesterday’s match in a lop-sided manner. The El-Clasico did not show that spark for which it is famous. It was a game dominated by the CSK batters and bowlers. MI is looking clueless in the field without Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer. Rohit Sharma informed at the toss that Archer was out of the action for yesterday’s match due to a precautionary method.

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan tried to get MI to a flyer in the first few overs, but they could not last long, and Mumbai Indians crumbled like a pack of cards.
Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner were the real game-changers for Chennai Super Kings. The duo took five wickets in total, in which Jadeja accounted for the three batters. Tim David’s 31 off 22 helped Mumbai post a respectable total of 157 runs on the board.

However, this target was never going to be enough on the Wankhede Stadium pitch. Devon Conway was dismissed on a duck, but Ajinkya Rahane played a blinder and ensured that CSK walked away with a comfortable victory in the match.
Rahane smashed 61 off 27, and CSK ended up winning by 7 wickets in the end.
