Chennai Super Kings (CSK) humbled a high-flying Mumbai Indians unit at the latter’s home ground in match number 29 of IPL 2024.

Apart from identical 60s shaped by CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and all-rounder Shivam Dube, evergreen MS Dhoni rolled back the clock by whacking three consecutive sixes off Hardik Pandya in front of a packed Wankhede Stadium.

Later in the game, young CSK fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana weighed down Mumbai Indians’ response by making timely breakthroughs throughout the run-chase.

Here’s the timeline of how MI vs CSK panned out in Mumbai-

Being asked to bat first, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad demoted himself to number three before recording his second successive 60-plus score of the season. The cricketer smacked five boundaries and five sixes in his 40-ball 69, and blazed CSK onto 150 off just 15 overs with a 90-run stand with fellow half-centurion Shivam Dube.

Shivam himself punched out 66 unbeaten runs from just 38 deliveries to set up a concrete foundation off a huge CSK total.

The legendary wicketkeeper-batter slapped a four-ball 20* as CSK soared its way to 206-4 by the completion of their 20 overs.

In pursuit of a huge 207-run target, Mumbai Indians openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan went hammer and tongs in the run-chase to take their side to 63-0 at the end of the Powerplay. Their collective batting bombardment at the top was eventually halted by CSK fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana, who accounted for the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in the same over.

Rohit Sharma recorded his ninth T20 century and only the second of his glittering IPL career by making an unbeaten 105 from 63 balls. The dashing opening batter launched five sixes and 11 boundaries in his turbulent knock, and shared steadfast partnerships with Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Mohammad Nabi.

Remarkably, Sharma also notched up the 500th maximum of his T20 career, thus becoming the first Indian in history and fifth overall to attain the landmark figure.


MI vs CSK Highlights: Matheesha Pathirana’s Four-Fer Makes The Difference

Despite the best run-chase efforts laid out by centurion Rohit Sharma, it was CSK’s Matheesha Pathirana who took all the laurels through his scintillating four-wicket haul. The Sri Lanka-based speedster started his spell by picking up the key wickets of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, before returning to halt Tilak Varma and Romario Shepherd’s stay at the crease to finish with figures 4-28 in a high-scoring thriller.

Matheesha Pathirana’s four-fer ensured that hosts Mumbai Indians stayed 20 runs away from their target, as CSK catered themselves to yet another win in this 17th edition of IPL.
