Congratulations to Chennai Super Kings, especially its opener Sanju Samson, whose unbeaten century took the team score to 206.
From there on, it was left to our bowlers, especially the spinners Hosein & Noor Ahmed, who choked the much hyped Mumbai Indian batsmen, who were bundled out for a paltry score of 103.
This victory against its archrival Mumbai Indians should boost the morale of CSK during their remaining matches to stake a slot in the playoff position.
Now it is time to whistle for the yellow brigade. Incidentally, we feel that the Man of the Match should have gone to Hosein, who hastened the downfall of Mumbai Indians.
