Under Gaikwad's leadership, Chennai has started the season strongly, winning four out of six matches and currently sitting third in the 10-team IPL standings. Openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube also played crucial roles with aggressive half-centuries. Despite Rohit Sharma's valiant century for Mumbai, a lack of support from other batsmen resulted in their downfall. Chasing 207 for victory, Mumbai could only manage 186 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs.
Chennai will now look to build on their winning momentum when they take on the Lucknow Super Giants on Friday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
