Chennai vs Mumbai live: Netizens react as Bumrah, Boult lead Chennai rout

Chennai got off to a worst possible start in their game against Mumbai on Friday, as Boult and Bumrah made most of the swinging conditions to wreak havoc in Sharjah. Put into bat, MS Dhoni's side were reduced to 3/3 after Jasprit Bumrah struck off back-to-back deliveries in his very first over. The 26-year-old banged it in short to induce the edge of Ambati Rayudu's bat before bowling a jaffa to get rid of N Jagadeesan. MS Dhoni faced the hat-trick delivery, but he shied away from another fiery bumper to deny Bumrah a hat-trick.

The Team India pacer's performance was well backed by Trent Boult, who after picking up Ruturaj Gaikwad in the first over, followed it up with wickets of in-form player Faf du Plessis and Ravindra Jadeja inside the powerplay. Chennai finished the powerplay with 24/5, but troubles rose for the Men in Yellow when Rahul Chahar struck gold.

Bowling the seventh over of the winnings, the wily leg-spinner was deposited in the stands by MS Dhoni, before he fought back to force a nick back to the keeper. With the skipper gone, Chennai stuttered to a mere 114/9 in their 20 overs, handing Mumbai a fair chance to go to the top of the Dream11 IPL table.
