CSK bowler gets the better of Mumbai Indians batsman

One of the most crucial moments of the match, which helped the Warriors win the CPL 2020 match took place in the first innings. Chris Lynn, who is set to play for Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2020, was looking in good touch initially. However, Imran Tahir, the CSK bowler, who will also be seen in IPL 2020, managed to get the better of him as he dismissed the Mumbai Indians batsman cheaply.

Imran Tahir managed to dismiss Chris Lynn on the first ball he bowled. The CSK spinner flighted the ball outside the off-stump as it turned away from Chris Lynn. The Mumbai Indians batsman misjudged the delivery and had a wild swing at it. However, with Chris Lynn failing to get proper contact on the ball, captain Chris Green took a safe catch to dismiss the dangerous batsman.After taking the wicket, instead of his trademark celebration wherein the bowler runs wildly across the pitch, the CSK leg spinner took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
