India Today
IPL 2022, CSK vs MI: Chennai Super Kings were dismissed for 97 after being asked to bat by Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. This was Chennai's second lowest total in the IPL. Incidentally, their lowest IPL total had also come at the same venue against the same opposition.
Chennai Super Kings were bowled out for 97 to be dismissed for their second lowest total in the Indian Premier League. CSK, the defending champions were asked to bat by Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday and they could never recover from the twin jolts in the first over of their innings.
Had it not been for MS Dhoni's 36 not out, CSK would have folded for less than 79 for their lowest total in the IPL.
On May 5, 2013 Chennai Super Kings had been bowled out for 79 chasing 140. That match was also played at the Wankhede Stadium.
Daniel Sams removed Devon Conway and Moeen Ali in the first over before Jasprit Bumrah struck in his first over to dismiss Robin Uthappa. CSK were unlucky early on because there was no DRS available for a few minutes because of a power failure.

Conway and Uthappa were both out LBW but TV replays showed the ball was sliding down the leg-side after Sams hit Conway on the pads. Uthappa, however, was plumb in front.
What happened thereafter was due to some incisive bowling by Mumbai Indians and poor shot-selection by the Super Kings.
