It's official. Chennai Super Kings' Indian Premier League (IPL) title defence is over. The most points they can garner now in IPL 2022 is 12, but four teams already have 14 and more. So, it's over. And knocking MS Dhoni & Co out are their bitter rivals Mumbai Indians, who themselves have become the first to get eliminated. Digest this - No Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in IPL playoffs!
In match 59 of IPL 2022 between the two most successful teams at the iconic Wankhede Stadium Thursday, Chennai Super Kings were dismissed for their second-lowest total in the tournament -- 97 all out with MS Dhoni top-scoring 36 not out off 33. Daniel Sams got three (3/16) including a very contentious first wicket of Devon Conway (LBW without the option to review) during the Wankhede blackout. Jasprit Bumrah and Kumar Kartikeya got a brace each. Then, Mumbai Indians made heavy weather of the chase with unheralded pacers Mukesh Choudhary and Simarjeet Singh rocking Rohit Sharma & Co. But a target of 98 runs was never going to be enough. In the end, a five-wicket win with 31 balls to spare for Mumbai Indians. Catch highlights and cricket scores of CSK vs MI match:
