In Match 12 of IPL 2023, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Mumbai Indians. Currently positioned at ninth place in the ten-team table, Rohit Sharma’s side has zero points, having lost their only match to Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Conversely, with two points from two games, CSK is ranked sixth, having recovered from their opening loss to clinch a victory against Lucknow Super Giants. MS Dhoni and his team are currently placed sixth in the standings.
Suryakumar Yadav is caught by Dhoni off Santner’s delivery, marking another failure for SKY. SKY was already walking off when he noticed the umpire signalling a wide and paused. However, MS Dhoni, who knew that SKY had made contact, immediately appealed for a caught behind review.
Despite the initial dismissal appeal being turned down, UltraEdge confirmed a spike on the gloves. It was a harmless delivery down leg, but SKY’s run of bad luck continues, as he ends up gloving the sweep and Dhoni takes a sharp catch. MI loses two wickets in just two overs.
Chennai’s captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, said after winning the toss that Ajinkya Rahane and Pretorius are playing, while Stokes and Moeen Ali are not in the team. Mumbai’s captain, Rohit Sharma, said that they also bowl first as the pitch is very good. The team’s atmosphere is quite positive. Jofra is not playing this match.
