The turbulent campaign has had many jolts to their campaign, but they bounced back on several occasions and have now managed to win four matches this season, including two matches against the Mumbai Indians. The Super Kings have now won six of their last seven matches against the Mumbai Indians since 2023.
MI's captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, one of the toughest batting tracks in India. However, the way they had performed with the bat in their last game might have handed Pandya the confidence to bat first.
Anshul Kamboj started with the first massive wicket of Will Jacks and once again picked three wickets in the game, thus helping CSK alongside Noor Ahmed to restrict them to a score of 159. Kamboj has claimed 17 wickets now in 9 appearances and is back at the top.

It was only a matter of time- Ruturaj Gaikwad
CSK could only manage to win 4 matches in the last season; however, they have done it with five more matches remaining in the contest. "Feels good. We started really well, the first couple of overs; they got momentum after that, and we pulled it back. It was about getting through the first couple of overs, and then it was about one of the top three staying there," Ruturaj Gaikwad said after the win.
"We thought about how to get the balance right, how to get a batter at eight and the extra bowler. Veer and Ghosh are someone who can contribute with both; they give extra cushion in the batting and bowl a couple of overs as well," said Ruturaj Gaikwad on team dynamics.
