It's not a situation that defending champions Chennai Super Kings often find themselves in - nearly a 50-run loss at home, 46 to be precise, to the Mumbai Indians. In fact, it is this season's first loss at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for Chennai Super Kings, who weren't led by MS Dhoni last night, as he was ruled out due to fever. Stand-in skipper Suresh Raina put Rohit Sharma & Co in and managed to restrict them to 155-4.
However, in reply, the hosts folded up for just 109 in 17.4 overs thanks to a disciplined bowling performance by the MI bowlers. Lasith Malinga was the pick of the lot with 4 for 37 off 3.4 overs. The win helped MI climb the second spot while CSK remained on top.
