The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) earned their fourth victory of the season in nine clashes, having got the better of the Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk by eight wickets in the 160-run chase. The plan perhaps was to go with the same side in the next game, but they won’t be able to do so.

Spencer Joshnson, the left-arm spinner, who came as a replacement for injured Nathan Ellis, missed half of the season for his own injury.
