The Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a disappointing troublesome situation in the first game against Mumbai. After the early dismissals of Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali, experienced batsman Suresh Raina too threw his wicket away while playing an unlikely shot. Raina also broke his bat off that delivery from MI pacer Trent Boult. Raina had to play with some sort of responsibility especially as his team had already lost two big wickets and Ambati Rayudu left the field after being retired hurt. The left-hander managed to score just 4 runs off 6 balls.
