Chennai Super Kings players wore black armbands in their IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians to mourn the passing of Mukesh Choudhary’s mother, Prem Devi. The franchise extended condolences to Mukesh’s family on social media. The players wore the armbands in solidarity with Mukesh, who had traveled back to his hometown in Bhilwara, Rajasthan for his mother’s final rites before rejoining the squad for the match. Despite limited appearances this season, Mukesh made an impact by taking key wickets in previous matches. CSK has been struggling this season under Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy, with MS Dhoni sidelined due to injury. The team has faced inconsistency in results and performance, with batting struggles and lack of momentum. New addition Sanju Samson has also been inconsistent. CSK will be looking to improve their performance and find stability as the season progresses.
