The Hardik Pandya-led side is currently eighth in the IPL 2024 standings with just 4 points and has won just two out of six games in the current season. The five-time champions have a net run rate of -0.234 in the 17th edition of IPL.

Talking about the match against Chennai Super Kings, MI won the toss and allowed CSK to bat first.

After Ajinkya Rahane (5 balls) and Rachin Ravindra (21 off 16 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six) failed to make much of an impact, Gaikwad (69 off 40 balls, 5 fours and 5 sixes) ) and Shivam Dube (66* off 38 balls, with 10 fours and two sixes) stitched a 90-run partnership. Later, MS Dhoni (20* with four balls) came out in the final over and took a six-ball hat-trick as CSK posted a record of 206/4 in 20 overs.

Hardik Pandya (2/43) is the bowler for MI. Shrias Gopal and Gerald Coetzee picked up one wicket each.

In the run-chase, MI got off to a good start with Ishan Kishan (23 off 15 balls, including three fours and a six) and Rohit combining for 70 runs.

Rohit managed to score his second IPL score but didn’t get much support from the other end, apart from another fifty with Tilak Varma (20 off 20 balls) 31 runs, including 5 fours). The Blue and Gold finished with a score of 186/6, losing by 20 runs.

Matheesha Pathirana (4/28) is the bowler for CSK. Mustafizur Rahman and Tushar Deshpande also took wickets.
