MI’s Jasprit Bumrah has had a season to forget so far. The pace spearhead has taken only two wickets from eight matches at a disastrous average of 132.00- that average is the worst for any bowler who has bowled 25 plus overs this season.
And on Sunday, the misfiring Bumrah goes up against one of his lesser favourite opponents in the IPL- Chennai Super Kings.
The 32-year-old has an average record by his high standards against CSK, having taken only 15 wickets from 17 matches at an average of 33.20 and an economy rate of 7.58.
Bumrah had a decent outing with the ball when the two sides met at the Wankhede just over a week ago, returning with figures of 1/31 from his four overs in a match where CSK scored over 200.
At the Chepauk, Bumrah has played only two matches so far, but has a slightly better record, having taken two wickets at an average of 20.50 and an economy rate of 5.85.
As MI’s playoff chances hang by a thread, the pacer will need to rediscover his best form for his side’s fortunes starting with the match against CSK tonight.

While some batters arrive at away grounds determined to play a certain way regardless of the pitch, Chennai Super Kings’ Sanju Samson says his red-hot form in the IPL 2026 is a product of adaptability and an open mind.
After single-digit scores in his first three IPL knocks, Samson smashed his second hundred of the season against Mumbai Indians on Thursday, his unbeaten 101 off 54 balls setting up Chennai’s 103-run victory over the five-time champions.
With 293 runs from seven innings, Samson is now third in the leading scorers’ list this season behind Sunrisers Hyderabad duo Abhishek Sharma (323) and Heinrich Klaasen (320).
Samson said it was not a typical Wankhede pitch and he had to adjust his game as the ball did not come nicely onto the bat.
“I think the game tells you what to do,” he added.
“I think you don’t have to come with a preconceived mindset, or you don’t have to be premeditating — this is how I play or this is what I want to do.

“You can definitely say that this is the way I play… It is my responsibility to understand the game situation, what the team demands, and then plan my game around it.
“I definitely go with a very open mindset.”
The 31-year-old, who was player of the tournament when India defended its T20 World Cup title earlier this year, also relished handing Mumbai its biggest defeat in the IPL in front of its own fans at the Wankhede Stadium.
“It really feels great to score a century in Wankhede against MI,” Samson said after the win, which helped Chennai climb to fifth place in the league.

Mitchell Santner clutching his shoulder after completing a stunning catch to dismiss Kartik Sharma in the 17th over of Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) innings was there for all to see.
But when news emerged that Shardul Thakur had replaced Mitchell Santner as a concussion substitute during Mumbai Indians’ (MI) chase, it raised more than a few eyebrows.
MI’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene was quick to clarify the sequence of events, stressing that the injury was not limited to the shoulder.
“I think he hit his head first, neck, obviously the shoulder as well. He went for a scan because once he got back he felt dizziness, so he was lying down. Yes, the icing was there for the shoulder, but he felt that he wasn’t stable,” Jayawardene said after his side was annihilated at home by CSK.
“So we took him for a scan in that situation, so we requested (a concussion sub). Obviously it’s at the match referee’s and umpire’s discretion, so they allowed Shardul.”
According to playing conditions, a concussion substitute is permitted only as a like-for-like replacement if a player suffers a head injury during the course of a match.
Santner, who also leads New Zealand in T20Is, had been seen on screen with an ice pack on his shoulder, prompting speculation. Jayawardene’s explanation, however, underlined that the primary concern was the head impact and subsequent dizziness.
Adding a touch of humour to the situation, Jayawardene quipped about the perceived like-for-like nature of the replacement.
“Mitch will be disappointed that his batting power is matched to Shardul Thakur, but it is what it is,” he said. “But hopefully it’s not too bad. Once he comes back, we will have a look at it.”

Akeal Hosein doesn’t quite fit the conventional mould of a PowerPlay bowler.
A left-arm spinner entrusted with the new ball in a format dictated by power-hitters, Hosein has turned that role into an advantage — as he showed in Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) emphatic win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
His spell of four for 17 not only broke the back of the MI chase but also underlined his growing influence this season. Having featured just once in the 2023 IPL, Hosein has made rapid strides, with his ability to read surfaces quickly and adapt lengths emerging as his x-factor.
“I’ve been trying to pick the coaches’ and players’ brains on red soil, black soil… what works where,” Hosein said, explaining the homework behind his execution. The key, he added, lies in making quick assessments — understanding pace off the surface, which deliveries grip and which skid — and relaying that information to his fellow bowlers.
Bowling in the PowerPlay, he admitted, comes with inherent risk. With only two fielders outside the circle, margins are thin. But Hosein’s approach is rooted in clarity and courage.
“You know the batters are going to come at you… it’s about being brave,” he said, before revealing a piece of advice from Dwayne Bravo, the West Indies T20 legend who is now a mentor with Kolkata Knight Riders, that has stayed with him. “If you are going to get hit, at least get hit to the two fielders protecting the boundary.”
That clarity of plan — bowl to the field, commit to the delivery — has allowed Hosein to thrive in phases where most spinners are shielded.
If his bowling has been about control, his celebrations have added a touch of theatre. The now-familiar “mask” gesture after wickets, he insisted, carries no deeper meaning.
“Everybody seems to have their own mask. Noor has a mask, a couple of footballers have their masks, so I just chose this one. I just chose this one to be my mask,” Hosein said.
“Nothing too much behind it. It’s just about, you know, celebrating small victories. Whenever you do well, you get a wicket. Whenever your teammates get a wicket as well, you just try to enjoy that moment and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.”
CSK will be hoping for Hosein’s mask celebrations to continue for the remaining season.

Mumbai Indians all-rounder Shardul Thakur came in as a concussion substitute in place of Mitchell Santner during the side’s IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Santner had hurt his shoulder during the first innings and gone off the field. The Kiwi international had suffered the injury during the 17th over while taking Kartik Sharma’s catch.
However, replays showed Santner’s head hit the ground while attempting the catch. He had bowled his four overs by then, conceding 44 runs and picking one wicket.
By this point, Mumbai had already used its Impact Player option, getting in Danish Malewar in place of Allah Ghazanfar.
Shardul could only manage six runs off 12 balls as the Indians faltered in their chase of 208 and lost by 103 runs.
