A Chennai Super Kings supporter was seen shushing a Mumbai Indians fan at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Thursday during the IPL 2026 encounter between the heavyweights in a viral moment.
CSK posted a total of 207/6 thanks to Sanju Samson’s fifth IPL hundred as the wicketkeeper-batter anchored the innings, holding his end firm even as wickets fell regularly at the other.
Samson, who stood unbeaten on 101 in just 54-balls, notched up 10 fours and six sixes, marking his second century for CSK to add to his effort against Delhi Capitals earlier in the season.
Allah Ghazanfar and Ashwani Kumar picked up two wickets apiece, while star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah finished with figures of 1/31.
Chennai started the defence of their total in splendid
fashion as Akeal Hosein removed Danish Malewar for a duck in the opening over, before Mukesh Choudhary scalped Quinton de Kock for 7 runs in 10 balls.
The Windies spinner doubled his tally with the dismissal of Naman Dhir for 0 off 3 balls to leave MI reeling at 11/3, before Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma steadied the innings.
Verama fell to Hosein for 37 off 29 deliveries as the Windies turner bagged this third of the day. Skipper Hardik Pandya walked out to bat, but couldn’t make a dent in the target as he was removed by Noor Ahmed for a solitary run off 2 deliveries. The crafty Afghani spinner doubled his tally with the dismissal of Sherfane Rutherford for a golden duck off the subsequent deliver.
Hosein took his kitty to four wickets on the day with the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav for 36 runs off 30 deliveries as MI slipped further away from the asking rate. Krish Bhagat fell to Jamie Overton and Anshul Kamboj removed Shardul Thakur for single digit scores. Gurjapneet Singh closed out proceedings as he scalped Jasprit Bumrah to bundle MI out for 104 in 19 overs.
