Chennai: Happiness has returned for Chennai Super Kings, who have been waiting for victory for three consecutive matches. Chennai defeated its biggest rival Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets in a one-sided match at Chepauk Stadium. The Mumbai team, which was successful in chasing a score of more than 200 in two consecutive matches, could score only 139 runs while batting first, which was not much difficult for Chennai. With this, CSK has registered its sixth win.
Although Chennai Super Kings have always been in their home ground of Chepauk, but they did not win against Mumbai Indians for a long time. The last time in 2010, Chennai defeated Mumbai in Chepauk. Since then, only Mumbai got success for 6 consecutive times. With this victory, Chennai finally ended the wait of 13 years.
For Chennai, the in-form pair of Rituraj Gaikwad and Devon Conway had once again prepared a winning platform for the team by starting fast. Both had scored 46 runs in 4 overs only. Gaikwad was dismissed in the fifth over but Conway remained frozen. On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane came and strengthened the team. Rahane and Gaikwad were made victims by Piyush Chawla.
As soon as Shivam Dubey came, he hit big shots in his style and hit sixes. On the other hand, Conway could not play a big innings this time, but by scoring 44 runs, he ensured the victory of the team. He was dismissed in the 17th over and by then the team had reached 130 runs. After the fall of Conway’s wicket, captain MS Dhoni came to the crease and in front of the fans of Chennai, he took one run and took the team to victory.
