At a packed Wankhede, Mumbai Indians thrashed Chennai Super Kings by 9 wickets, chasing 177 in 15.4 overs — and yes, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav didn’t even break a sweat.
CSK, at the bottom of the table, came in with changes — including young debutant Ayush Mhatre, who smashed 32 off 15.

Along with him, Shivam Dube hit 50 (32) and Jadeja anchored with 53 (35)*. Their partnership of 79 looked like it would give CSK a fighting total — 176/5.

His reply to haters? “I don’t talk. I perform.”
Surya, on the other hand, was Surya. Unorthodox, explosive, impossible to stop.
Together, the duo chased 177 in 94 balls — a total destruction of CSK’s bowling and morale.
That’s 3 in a row for MI — and suddenly they’re rising up the table like a storm. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy is working, the batting is blazing and the bowling is sharp.
Despite Dube’s 50, despite Mhatre’s promise — this was a one-sided thrashing.
The bowling had no answers. The fielding was flat. And Dhoni — the leader, the finisher — is fighting injury and time.
Final Word—Dube’s 50? Wasted.Dhoni? Powerless.Rohit? Roaring.MI? Flying.
