IPL2023:Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians

In IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday to move to No.2 in the points table. CSK have won 6 of their 11 matches this season- their game against Lucknow Super Giants was washed out. The CSK victory was set up by their bowlers. Matheesha Pathirana picked 3 for 14 while Deepak Chahar took 2 for 18 and Tushar Deshpande edged past Gujarat Titans duo Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan in the Purple Cap race with figures of 2 for 26. Chasing a mere 140, Devon Conway was the mainstay for CSK; Ruturaj Gaikwad (30) and Ajinkya Rahane (21) also played key knocks as the Super Kings got home easily..

Mumbai Indians got off to a horror start after Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bowl at the Chepauk. Cameron Green was sent up the order to open alongside Ishan Kishan, but he was sent back by Tushar Deshpande in the second over of the innings. Deepak Chahar was hit for two boundaries in the first over but he bounced back in his second to remove Ishan Kishan (7) and Rohit Sharma for 0. The Mumbai Indians captain now has the most ducks in the history of the Indian Premier League.
