The El-Clasico of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was supposed to be the most thrilling contest of the season. But it fizzled into a one-sided encounter as Mumbai Indians succumbed to a 103-run defeat against the Chennai Super Kings on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Sanju Samson and Akeal Hosein were the main architects of victory for the five-time champions as they registered their third win of IPL 2026 and also shattered multiple records in the process.
