CSK Thrash MI by 103 Runs as Samson Hits 101* and Hosein Takes Four

Mumbai’s heaviest IPL defeat by runs exposes powerplay frailties.

Overview

  • CSK, which routed MI on Thursday at Wankhede, won by 103 runs after posting 207/6 and bowling out the hosts for 104.
  • Sanju Samson anchored Chennai’s innings with an unbeaten 101 off 54 balls, striking 10 fours and six sixes to lift the total past 200.
  • Akeal Hosein tore through Mumbai with 4 for 17 and sparked an early collapse to 11/3, with Noor Ahmad adding two key wickets in support.
  • The result moved Chennai to fifth and dropped Mumbai to eighth, and Hardik Pandya said the chase failed because MI lost the powerplay and not because the pitch changed.
  • Ruturaj Gaikwad dedicated the win to Mukesh Choudhary, who played two days after his mother’s death as CSK wore black armbands in support.
