Chennai Super Kings won the inaugural IPL match in Marushahar. On Saturday, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team won by five wickets with four balls to spare. The last time champion Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians lost in the first match.
CSK leader Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the draw and chose the field. In Dhoni’s team of experienced cricketers, he was the “finalist” himself. That’s why ‘Captain Cool’ sent the Mumbai Indians to bat first. Mumbai lost ground last time out and Chennai didn’t have a big goal in front of them. Dhoni’s team had to score 163 runs to avenge the last IPL final. Chennai (183-5) reached the goal in 19.2 overs.
Chennai did not start well after pursuing the race. Shane Watson (4) and Murali Vijay (1) returned in two overs. Both became lbw. Go back to Trent Bolt and James Pattinson, respectively. After that, Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu relied on Chennai for the third wicket. At the end of 10 overs, CSK’s score was 60 times two.
A strong management partnership emerges between @ david_channel77 and @RayuduAmbati.

From there, Rayudu-du Plessis added 115 runs to make the match one-sided. Rayudu made his first fifty in the IPL this time. His half century is 33 balls. Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma couldn’t break the tie even after attacking Jashpreet Bumra down the middle. Caught. Hall is also Misfield. When Rayudu hit 61 with 46 balls and Loppa caught player Rahul Chahar, Chennai still had 42 to score with 24 balls. Rayudu had six fours and three sixes in the innings.

Chennai needed 29 runs in the last three overs. He had seven windows in hand. Krunal Pandya lbw Jadeja (10) on the first ball of the 16 over. But not Dhoni, Sam Karen, the left arm, reached the fold. He needed 16 runs of the last 12 balls. After Kareena returned (18 of six balls) with a boomerang, Dhoni went down. But the referee caught him behind the first ball. Survive MSD with revisions. This coincidence is a reflection of why DRS is a ‘Dhoni review system’ to many.
Chennai needed five runs last time. D’Villiers (56 without 44 balls) stripped the beard off Trent Bolt’s second ball. His fifty is L42. Meanwhile, Dhoni did not have to open the book. He remained undefeated without a two-ball run.
FIFTY!
Faf du Plessis brings a well-controlled half-century of 42 deliveries.

The Mumbai Indians didn’t get off to a bad start after losing the toss and opting to hit. Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock came down to open the door. ‘Hitman’ sent Deepak Chahar’s first ball over the edge. I didn’t think Rohit would be able to practice against the coronavirus for about six months. Kock’s partner Quinton was also on the beat. At the end of four overs, the Mumbai Indians were 45 without runs.
Seeing that the fast bowlers were not coming to work, Dhoni called Piyush Chawla. And that is Bajimat. Piyush Chawla returned the ball to Rohit. The Mumbai captain came back with 12 runs and 10 balls. Quinton de Kock (33 of 20 balls) was sacked in the next over by Sam Karen. Mumbai ‘s second wicket fell by 48 runs. The third wicket fell for 92 runs. Suryakumar Yadav (18) returned with the ball from Deepak Chahar. The fourth wicket fell for 121 runs. Sourav Tiwary came back with 42 of 31 balls. Left-handed entries had three fours and one six. Hardik Pandya (14 of 10 balls) returned with Rabindra Jadeja on that change. After some dancing, ‘Sir’ Jadeja returned Sourav-Hardik to Chennai.

Mumbai lost five wickets in 15 overs and scored 126 runs. Kieron Pollard was the hope in that situation. However, he was unable to score more than 16 runs. After Pollard, Krunal Pandya (3) and James Pattinson (11) were also returned by NGD. Protea Pacer, who took three wickets for 36 races, is the most successful of the team. Mumbai lost windows in the death over due to its power. Deepak Chahar and Rabindra Jadeja took two plots each.
In the last final, the Mumbai Indians lost to Chennai Super Kings by 1 run. Dhoni’s team had a chance to get back at that pace. In this match, the eyes of cricket fans were on Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He was last seen playing in the semi-finals of the World Cup in England last year. So far, after being exhausted by Martin Guptill’s pitch, Dhoni entered the competitive match. Captain Cool, who joined the Cricket League franchise 34 days after leaving international cricket, took two catches. His number of captures in IPL reached 100.
Milestone alert!
