In a historic match at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians faced a crushing defeat at the hands of their archrivals, Chennai Super Kings. This loss marked the biggest defeat in Mumbai Indians’ history in the Indian Premier League (IPL), with a staggering 103-run margin.
Chennai Super Kings put up a formidable total of 207/6 after being put into bat by Mumbai. Sanju Samson’s brilliant unbeaten century, scoring 101 off just 54 balls, was a major contributing factor to CSK’s strong performance.

CSK’s spinners Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad wreaked havoc on Mumbai’s batting lineup, with impressive figures of 4/17 and 2/23 respectively.
This defeat now stands as the 12th heaviest in the history of the IPL, highlighting the magnitude of Mumbai Indians’ loss. The previous record for Mumbai’s biggest defeat was against Rajasthan Royals in 2013, with an 87-run margin. Other significant losses include 85 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016, 76 runs against Punjab Kings in 2011, and 66 runs against Punjab Kings in 2008.
