The league round matches of the current IPL series have almost reached the final stage. Based on the matches played so far, only the Gujarat Titans have advanced to the play - offs.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, the strongest teams in the IPL, will be out of the league round.
Chennai (Mumbai) clashed today (12.05.2022) in the 59th league match of the IPL series.
In this match, Mumbai won the toss and elected to field. CSK, who played accordingly, seemed to have lost wickets fast from the start. CSK, who could not recover from that, lost all their wickets at the end of 16 overs and scored only 97 runs. Max Dhoni was on the field till the last with 36 runs.
The Mumbai team, which continued to play, suffered a slight setback in the beginning, but youngsters Tilak and Hrithik calmly rescued the team. Thus, Mumbai reached the target in the 15th over.
Earlier during the toss for this match, the thing that Dhoni was talking about Jadeja is now going more viral. CSK star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the ongoing IPL due to injury. Previously, he was the captain of the CSK team at the beginning of the IPL series.
As he will not play in the remaining matches, Dhoni, who was talking about him before the Mumbai match, said, "Batting first in the last few matches gave us a hand. We are playing with the same team. It's very, very difficult to fill in. One should never think that someone else can bang better in his place.
CSK, who missed out on the play-offs due to defeat against Mumbai, will face Gujarat and Rajasthan in the next two matches.
