Fans on Twitter reacted after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by 20 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The 29th match of the tournament between the teams took place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Chennai Super Kings registered their fourth win of IPL 2024 with a magnificent effort with bat and ball at the Wankhede Stadium. They were asked to bat first and even though they didn’t get off to a great start with the bat, they put up a big total on the board.
Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (69) and Shivman Dube (66) played magnificently well and took the game away from Mumbai Indians in the middle. They added 90 runs for the third wicket before MS Dhoni played a 20-run cameo off just 4 balls at the Wankhede Stadium.
Chennai Super Kings finished with a total of 206 runs on the board. For Mumbai Indians, captain Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 2/43. Apart from him, Shreyas Gopal and Gerald Coetzee also picked a wicket each.
In the chase, Mumbai Indians got off to a brutal start with the bat. Ishan Kishan (23) and Rohit Sharma (105*) took their team off the wheel. But on Kishan’s wicket, the home team couldn’t get going at all. Tilak Varma (31) played well in the middle but could not continue.
Captain Rohit Sharma (105*) was the only warrior in his team with his bat. He tried his best but did not get the desired support from the other side as Mumbai Indians failed to chase the target. They finished with a total of 186 and lost the game by 20 runs.

I feel for Rohit. He carried his bat, scored a hundred but was on the losing side. He never gives up, keeps fighting, true champion. pic.twitter.com/Mh4AUTLOXX

Despite the result, it was a pleasure to see Rohit reach his century!

Rohit not bothering to lift the bat after a brilliant hundred in front of a CSK chanting crowd says it all. Team man at heart, professional with bat. #MIvsCSK

Excellent innings in a chase by Rohit. He was almost even, but didn’t get the quick cameos through the middle in support. He needed a pair of 20s (10) at the other end to set up the finish.

Rohit will be happy with his 100 as any batsman will be. However, his team lost by 20 runs from a position they were in, also at Wankhede. The worst fears of all Mumbai fans have come true. They’re practically out now#MIvsCSK
