Sharjah, October 23: Chennai Super Kings were hammered by defending champions Mumbai Indians by 10 wickets in their 11th Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 match here on Friday (October 23). Ishan Kishan, Trent Boult and other bowlers did exceedingly well to help their team climb at the top of the standings.
This is the first instance when the MS Dhoni-led side lost a game by all 10 wickets as Ishan Kishan (68* off 37 balls) and Quinton de Kock (47* off 37 deliveries) made a mockery of CSK's bowling in the run chase of 115.
Having elected to bowl first, Mumbai Indians' produced a terrific bowling effort and pushed CSK to the wall from the word go. Chennai Super Kings were restricted to 114/9 in the 20 overs after stand-in skipper Kieron Pollard won the toss and elected to bowl.
Trent Boult (18/4), Jasprit Bumrah (25/2) and Rahul Chahar (22/2) continued giving CSK breakthroughs at regular intervals as fans witnessed a rare batting collapse from the Chennai-based franchise.
Sam Curran (52 off 47 balls) was the lone warrior for his team with the bat as the left-handed Englis batsman stitched a vital 43-runs partnership with Imran Tahir. But that partnership wasn't enough to save CSK's sinking ship.
