Though the Chennai team took a series of key wickets for the Mumbai team, one thing they did was cause a stir among the fans.
CSK, who have won just one of their last six matches on one side, and Mumbai Indians, who have lost their last six matches on the other side, are currently facing off.
CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja, who won the toss in the match, chose to bowl. Mumbai were shocked in the first over.
Rohit and Ishant Kishan were bowled out in succession by Mukesh Choudhary. Following this, the wickets of the Mumbai team were falling at short intervals. At the end of 20 overs, Mumbai Indians were 155 for 7. The CSK team continues to drive towards the goal.
Although the CSK team bowled well, some of the things that happened during their fielding have greatly tested the patience of the fans. Initially, Dhoni missed a stumping opportunity by Suryakumar Yadav. After this, Jadeja missed the Bravis catch. After this, Bravo missed the catch opportunity given by Tilak Verma. Tilak used this to score 51 runs.
Even after this, many including Jadeja and Shivam Dube left some important catch opportunity in succession. If Chennai had used all the opportunities available to them, they could have controlled Mumbai by 30 runs. However, CSK's fielding error was to Mumbai's advantage.
Fans have been pointing out that mistakes made by the CSK team in fielding could be a reaction to their next chance, given that they only have a chance to advance to the play - offs if they win all of their upcoming matches.
