Ravindra Jadeja’s Chennai Super Kings notched up their second win of IPL 2022 against Mumbai Indians but continue to remain in ninth position on points table.
Chennai Super Kings won the Indian Premier League ‘El Clasico’ clash against Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (April 21). CSK now have 4 points from 7 matches but continue to remain in 9th position, just ahead of MI – who became the first team in IPL to lose 7 successive matches.
Former captain MS Dhoni’s unbeaten 28 off 13 balls set up the win for the defending champions, who won off the last ball of the game with three wickets to spare. CSK’s next match is against Punjab Kings on Monday (April 25) and they can certainly move a few places up the table with a win in that match.

Five-time champions MI, on the other hand, are almost certainly out of the Playoffs race since they have failed to register a single win in IPL 2022 even after 7 matches.
Orange Cap – Jos Buttler (375 runs)
Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler continues to hold on to the IPL 2022 Orange Cap with 375 runs in 6 matches so far with two hundreds and two fifties. Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis are in second and third position.

Purple Cap – Yuzvendra Chahal (17 wickets)
The Purple Cap currently belongs to Yuzvendra Chahal, who has picked up 17 wickets from 6 matches so far. The Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner can add to this tally as his side takes on COVID-19-hit Delhi Capitals in Match No. 34 of IPL 2022 on Friday (April 22).
