New Delhi. After faltering initially in the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings have now gained momentum. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Karthik Sharma scored brilliant fifties on Saturday to give the team a big 8-wicket win against Mumbai Indians. Chennai team achieved the target of 160 runs in 18.1 overs by losing only 2 wickets.
After Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings’ name comes in the list of teams that have registered the most wins against Mumbai Indians. In 35 IPL matches played against Mumbai, Punjab Kings have achieved 17 wins (one in Super Over). The win against Mumbai Indians on Saturday was special for Chennai Super Kings as it took the team to sixth place in the points table of IPL 2026. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians remains at ninth position. Mumbai has registered only two wins in the nine matches played so far in IPL 2026 and now their hopes of reaching the top-4 are almost over.
Even if Mumbai Indians win their remaining five matches, they will have 14 points at the end of the league stage. But 14 points may not be enough to qualify for the playoffs. This has happened only once in the last four seasons of IPL when a team has made it to the top-4 by scoring 14 points in the league stage. Chennai Super Kings have 8 points from nine matches. If Chennai wins four out of its remaining five matches, it will reach the playoffs.
