Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continued their resurgence in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL), registering a convincing eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, May 02. The victory helped CSK strengthen their position in the points table, while MI’s struggles this season continued.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians had a shaky start after losing Will Jacks early in the powerplay. Ryan Rickelton provided some momentum with a brisk 37, but wickets at regular intervals kept them from building a big total. It was Naman Dhir who held the innings together with a well-crafted 57 off 37 balls, but his dismissal in the middle over deepened MI's troubles. Contributions from Suryakumar Yadav and skipper Hardik Pandya helped MI post 159/7 in their 20 overs.
For CSK, the bowlers delivered a disciplined performance. Anshul Kamboj was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, while Noor Ahmad chipped in with a couple of crucial breakthroughs to keep the visitors under control.
Chasing 160, CSK lost Sanju Samson early, but skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad steadied the innings with a composed knock. He found an able partner in Kartik Sharma, and the duo ensured there were no further hiccups. Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 67, while Kartik scored a fluent 54* as CSK chased down the target in 18.1 overs with ease.
CSK's got 99 problems but defeating MI is not one of them
First team to get knocked out of IPL 2026. Mumbai Indians heritage.
