Standing on the verge of elimination, Mumbai Indians got off to a worst possible start in their Indian Premier League clash against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday evening. Spearheading the CSK attack, 25-year-old pacer Mukesh Choudhary inflicted a double blow in the first over as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan returned to the dugout without opening their account.

Rohit was the first man to depart after he miscued his shot, which was collected comfortably by Mitchell Santner at mid-on. However, what came next was a gem of a delivery as Choudhary uprooted the stumps- with an unplayable yorker, sending Ishan Kishan crashing on the pitch.

Mumbai too made three changes as Riley Meredith and off-spinner Hrithik Shokeen made their debut for Mumbai.
Daniel Sams, who had a forgettable outing against Kolkata Knight Riders, also came back in the playing XI.
Both the heavyweights are languishing at the bottom of the ten-team points table. While Mumbai are yet to open the account, Chennai have secured just one win in the campaign so far.
