IPL 2026: Gaikwad, Kartik and bowlers help CSK complete double against MI

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) outplayed Mumbai Indians (MI) for the second time this season, leaving Hardik Pandya’s men on the brink of elimination.

After misreading pitch No. 6 against Gujarat Titans (GT) last weekend, CSK used pitch No .5 to their advantage on Saturday, limiting MI to 159 for 7.

Their attack kept banging the ball away on good lengths and hard lengths to make life difficult for MI. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kartik Sharma made light work of the middling target with unbeaten half-centuries.

They now rise to sixth on the points table, with their fourth win in nine games. (ESPNcricinfo)
