Rohit Sharma`s lean patch with willow continued as Chennai Super Kings broke a 13-year-old home jinx against Mumbai Indians with an easy six-wicket victory on Saturday. The Team India skipper`s horrid run in IPL since the last edition continued as he failed to trouble the scorer for the second match in succession with MI scoring a below-par 139 for 8 against an inspired performance from the CSK pace and seam troika of Deepak Chahar (2/18 in 4 overs), Man of the match Matheesha Pathirana (3/15 in 4 overs) and Tushar Deshpande (2/25 in 4 overs).
However, Rohit, in the process, registered an unwanted record for most ducks in the history of the cash-rich league. Though the 36-year-old chose to bat at No. 3 today, his new batting position didn`t change his fortunes as he departed for a duck for the second consecutive time in IPL 2023.
