IPL 2024 In a thrilling encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, the Chennai Super Kings emerged victorious against the Mumbai Indians despite Rohit Sharma heroic unbeaten century. Rohit’s resilient knock of 105 off 63 balls, adorned with 11 fours and five sixes, showcased his batting prowess but ultimately fell short in securing a win for his team. CSK’s skipper, MS Dhoni, played a crucial role in steering his team to a formidable total of 206/4, smashing three consecutive sixes in the final over against Hardik Pandya to finish with an unbeaten 20 off just four deliveries.
The bowlers also played a pivotal role in CSK’s victory, with Matheesha Pathirana impressive spell of 4 for 28 halting MI’s chase at 186/6. Despite Rohit’s magnificent century, the lack of support from the rest of the team proved to be Mumbai Indians’ downfall, marking their fourth defeat in six matches and leaving them languishing in the eighth spot in the IPL 2024 standings.

In the chase, opener Salt’s blazing knock of 89 not out off 47 balls, supported by captain Shreyas Iyer’s composed innings of 38 not out, ensured a comfortable victory for KKR with 26 balls to spare.
