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.
