IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange & Purple Cap: Dhoni's heroics steer CSK win over MI; Bravo among top-5 wicket-takers
IPL 2022, MI vs CSK: MS Dhoni's heroics steered Chennai Super Kings to a three-wicket win over Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni rolled back the years to produce a scintillating finish for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), as he steered the side to a memorable three-wicket win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2022 on Thursday. The former CSK captain slammed 6, 4, 2, 4 off the final four balls of Jaydev Unadkat's final over of the run-chase to take the defending champions to their second win of the season. While this was CSK's second win of the season, the misery continues for MI as they are yet to open their account in the tournament. Their winless run of seven games this season is the worst-ever by an IPL franchise. (Follow IPL 2022 Coverage)
