Who won the IPL match yesterday? On April 14, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) engaged in a home game. Mumbai, who had only won two of their previous five games, chose to field first after winning the toss.

CSK batting began with rookie Rachin Ravindra and experienced player Ajinkya Rahane, who was removed before contributing significantly to the score. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped out to bat at 8/1 in the second over. He and Ravindra shared a partnership of 52 runs. Rachin was then dismissed for 21 off 16 balls in the eighth over.

Shivam Dube was the next to reach the crease, and he destroyed the Mumbai bowlers. He helped Ruturaj reach 90 runs on the scoreboard. Chennai's Hardik Pandya, captain of Mumbai, removed his opponent after he hit 69 runs off 40 balls. Daryl Mitchell was also taken out by Hardik. The over marked the end of Chennai's batting innings. MS Dhoni reached the crease with four balls remaining.

Mahi scored 20 off 4 balls with a strike rate of 500.00 during his cameo after hitting three straight sixes off Hardik. Mumbai was set a target of 207.

With Ishan Kishan as his opener, Rohit Sharma was playing at an elite level. Rohit looked like his old self at Wankhede, hitting eleven fours and five sixes to smash 105 off 63 balls. This season, it was the third century after Jos Buttler and Virat Kohli. Rohit scored his highest since 2012 with his second IPL century.

But Rohit required assistance from the other end, which didn't happen very often. Suryakumar Yadav was out for a duck, Hardik Pandya scored two off six balls, and Ishan Kishan was out for 23 off 15 balls. Tushar Deshpande dismissed Pandya, and Matheesha Pathirana dismissed Ishan and Surya.

Before Pathirana claimed his wicket, Tilak Varma (31 off 20 balls) was the only one to show some resistance. Mumbai were 134/4 in the sixteenth over, and Rohit Sharma was still at the other end. Tim David started with two sixes but could not muster anything after that (13 off 5 balls). In the 18th over, Pathirana castled Romario Shepherd (1 off 2 balls).

In two overs, Mumbai needed 47 runs to win. MI scored 13 off the 19th over thanks to Rohit Sharma's 6 off Mustafizur Rahman, but it was obviously insufficient. With a four in the twentieth over, Rohit achieved his century. Mumbai was only able to reach 186/6, falling 20 runs shy of Chennai's total. The decisive 20-run blowout by MS Dhoni in the final over of this IPL contest was crucial.

Man of the Match

The best bowler for Chennai was Matheesha Pathirana. Arriving as an impact player, he claimed 4 wickets in 4 overs for a total of 28 runs. He was awarded Man of the Match.
