Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clinched a commanding 20-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 29 of the IPL 2024 season at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (April 14).

After being put in to bat first, the defending champions posted a formidable total of 206/4 on the scoreboard. Ruturaj Gaikwad (69 off 40) and Shivam Dube (66* off 38) both notched up half-centuries, while MS Dhoni (20* off 4) provided a blistering finish to the CSK innings.

Jasprit Bumrah stood out among the MI bowlers once again, delivering a tight spell with figures of 0/27 in his allotted four overs.

In response, the home team could only muster 186/6 in their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma fought a lone battle for MI with an exceptional knock of 105* off 63 balls, registering his second IPL century. However, he lacked substantial support from his teammates, with Tilak Varma being the next highest scorer with 31 off 20 balls.

Matheesha Pathirana emerged as the standout performer for CSK, taking four wickets while giving away just 28 runs in his quota of four overs. He secured the dismissals of Ishan Kishan (23), Suryakumar Yadav (0), Tilak Varma (31), and Romario Shepherd (1).

The cricket community praised CSK for their all-round display, acknowledging Rohit Sharma’s exceptional batting effort.
