Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets
However, it wasn’t always the case in IPL match 12. After winning the toss, when CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni sent Mumbai Indians to bat, Rohit ‘Hitman’ Sharma showed the intent for a big total. There were big shots all over. The power play score of 61/1 was the flying start MI needed. CSK lost Deepak Chahar to injury. With no Moeen Ali, no Ben Stokes and no Chahar, things were looking bleak for CSK. Things changed suddenly when Dhoni asked Ravindra Jadeja to bowl. From there on, it was downhill for MI. Mitchell Santner and ‘Sir’ Jadeja completely broke the back of MI’s batting lineup. Between them, they scalped five wickets with an insane catch by Jaddu!
MI never got back in the game and was restricted by CSK bowlers to just 157.
When the second innings began, MI got an early success in the form of Conway’s wicket. But that just accelerated Ajinkya Rahane’s arrival. And what to say – he came, he saw and he conquered. Hitting the fastest 50 of this season of IPL from just 19 deliveries, Rahane broke that image that he was just a test player. Punishing MI bowlers such as Arshad Khan, Rahane powered CSK total to a comfortable point. From there on, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu made sure to rotate the strike and won the match with 11 balls to spare. They could have finished the game but early had they put NRR on their minds. Nevertheless, CSK have won again. This is the second consecutive win for Thala Dhoni & co.
Here are key moments of CSK vs MI match:
From Marina to Marine Drive, It's Thala Dhoni all the way! With 11 balls remaining, that four sealed the deal for CSK. Chennai Super Kings have won the match by 7 wickets!
This is the chance for CSK to better the NRR. For this, they need to finish it early. they need seven runs to win the match. A six here, maybe?
Rohit Sharma's variation pays off! Kartikeya Singh, the impact sub, gets Shivam Dube. By the way, Wankhede is chanting – 'We want Dhoni!'….Will we see Chepauk action here also?
The current run rate is well over 9 while require run rate is around 4. Both Gaikwad and Dubey are just rotating the strike and keeping it steady before they go hammer and tong to finish early. CSK is totally in control and they just want to win with an ease. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any bowling attack that can unsettle CSK batters
After scoring quickest half-century of IPL 2023 so far, Ajinkya Rahane's blazing innings come to an end. After four overs, Mumbai Indians were four down. With Gaikwad still at the crease, CSK looks very comfortable at the moment. And remember, they have Mahi at number 8! So lot of batting left for CSK.
Rahane scores half century in just 19 deliveries! Fabulous innings by Rahane in front of home crowd.
The fourth over score board read – 6, 4,4,4,4,1 – That's Rahane for you ladies and gentlemen! Perfect timing again and again as Rahane punishes MI bowlers.
Bad news for Chennai Sueper Kings. David Conway walks back for 0. This is what Mumbai Indians need to create some pressure. With a low total to defend, MI bowlers need to strike at regular intervals to win the game.
Gaikwad and Conway are on crease. Behrendroff is bowling the first over. CSK openers are taking it easy.
Deshpande, Jadeja and Santner break the back of MI batting as the Blue Army is restricted to just 157 runs. The low total proves that Dhoni's call to field first was right.
6-4-6-WICKET! Tushar Deshpande improves his bowling attack. After the breakthrough wicket of Rohit Sharma, Deshpande sends back Tim David. And that figure shows how important that wicket was for CSK. With current scene, the target of 150 look bit far for Mumbai Indians
The current run rate per over is 7. If this continues without loss of any wicket, Mumbai Indians would be able to set the target of 150 for CSK.
This catch by Ravindra Jadeja can very well be one of the best that we have seen in this season of IPL so far. Amazing agility. For last 18 runs that MI got on the scoreboard, they have lost four wickets! Things don't look good for the home team.
When Mahendra Singh Dhoni calls for a review, one know what the answer would be. Fans call it DRS aka Dhoni review system and it is absolutely brilliant! Suryakumar Yadav 1(2) ct MS Dhoni b Mitchell Santner reads the final result as CSK win review.
Ishan Kishan was looking dangerous and then Ravindra Jadeja walked in. A lofty shot near boundary caught by Dwaine Pretorius ends Kishan's journey today. are CSK in control now?
The power play has ended but Ishan Kishan is just starting! Despite the departure of Mumbai India skipper Rohit Sharma for just 21 runs, Kishan looks completely in control. He is smashing boundaries all over Wankhede. MI momentum continues,
Tushar Deshpande sends back Rohit Sharma (21). Huge setback for Mumbai Indians as Kishan and Green would have to continue the momentum. Santner is bowling now.
HUGE six there! Sharma gets in groove. CSK's Tushar Deshpande has no answer for the MI openers. And there's this Deepak Chahar headache for CSK. Missing Moeen Ali, already?
Wankhede crowd is loving those big shots by Rohit Sharma. This will really help Mumbai Indians to build on big total in power play.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are opening for Mumbai Indians. Deepak Chahar will bowl the first over.

Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have chosen to bowl first. So, there's no Jofra Archer for MI. Pressure on batsmen to score well! For CSK, Moeen Ali will be missing out the Wankhede action. After what he did at Chepauk, MSD will have to make sure that the bowling attack is as sharp as ever.
Yup! We can see Sachin Tendulkar talking to MS Dhoni ahead of the toss. MI is the only team in IPL that CSK has lost to more numbers of times than the wins. Dhoni and Sharma are ready for the toss and so are we!
If we look at head-to-head comparison of 34 times that this teams have faced each other, Mumbai Indians have won 20 matches whereas Chennai Super Kings have won 14 times.
We have been hearing for some season now – the much-anticipated IPL debut of Arjun Tendulkar. MI tweeted pic of Tendulkar at net practice. Big question still is – will it be the D-day today when we see Tendulkar in Wankhede?
The last time these two team faced each other, Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by five wickets. That match was played on May 12, 2022
In a video that has gone viral, a pilot was heard making an in-flight announcement for Dhoni! It turned out that the pilot was a huge MSD fan and the moment he learnt that CSK squad is in the flight, he took to mic and requested Dhoni to be CSK captain for many years. this fan-boy moment comes in the backdrop of Dhoni's cheeky warning after match against LSG. After several wide and no-balls, Dhoni had said – 'I''' be off'! Though nothing ha been said officially, there has been lot of buzz that this could be last IPL season for Captain Cool!
