This marked MI’s first-ever three-match losing streak at the Wankhede Stadium in IPL history.

MI is now eighth in the standings with four points after seven matches. CSK now holds the record for the most wins against MI in IPL history, with 19 victories in 40 matches.
Pandya mentioned they will assess their playing XI and strategize for upcoming matches. MI’s defeat on Thursday marked their lowest total against CSK in IPL. This loss adds to MI’s recent struggles against CSK, with the latter winning five of their last six encounters since 2023.
