MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings are out of the playoffs race after their 5-wicket defeat against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians in the 59th match of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. Dhoni's side had a tactical chance of making it to the playoffs by winning seven games in the league stage and hoping that the other teams' results go in their favour. However, Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians played spoilsport for CSK by putting the last nail in the coffin with a win. CSK will next play against Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. Both GT and RR are fighting for the top two spots in the points table.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians were already out of the playoffs race with just three wins in 12 games this season. MI will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals in their last two league games. Both SRH and DC are in the playoffs race and MI will look to spoil their party by winning those matches.
#MumbaiIndians register their third win of the season!
The Rohit Sharma -led unit beat #CSK by 5 wickets to bag two more points.
