MS Dhoni returned to one of his favourite hunting grounds, the Wankhede Stadium, leading Chennai Super Kings to a dominant win over their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2023 match on Saturday, April 8. CSK rode on a terrific batting show from debutant Ajinkya Rahane and a spin-bowling masterclass from Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner to register a 7 wicket win as they chased down a 158-run target in just 18.1 overs.
After Ajinkya Rahane’s 2nd fastest fifty for CSK, Ruturaj Gaikwad made sure he carried on with his form, hitting an unbeaten 40 off 36 balls as CSK strolled past the finish line.
Chennai Super Kings moved into the top 4 in the IPL 2023 points table as they recovered from their season-opening loss to defending champions Gujarat Titans with two successive wins – against Lucknow Super Giants at home and Mumbai Indians away from home.
