Mumbai score biggest IPL win over old rivals Chennai
SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates:Trent Boult starred with the ball and Ishan Kishan with the bat as Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians inflicted their biggest ever win over old rivals Chennai Super Kings on Friday.
Boult took four wickets as Chennai -- at one stage four wickets down with just three runs scored -- were restricted to 114 for nine off their 20 overs.
Kishan then hit 68 and Quinton de Kock 46 as Mumbai sped to 116 in 12.2 overs without losing a wicket.
It was Mumbai's first 10wicket victory over Chennai and the first time M.S. Dhoni's Chennai have lost by such a margin.
Dhoni admitted the rout "hurt".
Mumbai went to the top of the IPL standings while three-time champions Chennai went to the bottom of the eight-team race amid growing questions about the future of Dhoni and other veterans in the team.
New Zealander Boult removed Chennai opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who took Shane Watson's place for the day, just five balls into the game.
Jasprit Bumrah claimed Ambati Rayudu and Narayan Jagadeesan with straight balls in the second over before Boult took the wicket of Faf du Plessis in the third.
Dhoni made 16, hitting a six before being caught next ball off Rahul Chahar.
While more wickets fell, Sam Curran saved Chennai from complete disaster with a defiant 52 that guided his side away from their historic low score of 79.
Boult who took four for 18 off his four overs, said he kept to his "natural" swing bowling style.
