IPL 2022: CSK's Mukesh Choudhary dismisses MI openers Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan on ducks

CSK's Mukesh Choudhary bowled an incredible first over as he got rid of both Mumbai Indians openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan on ducks. After being sent out to bat first, Mumbai got off to a shaky start as they lost both their opening batters early. 

Choudhary was on song as he first dismissed MI skipper Rohit Sharma who gifted an easy catch to Mitchell Santner towards mid-on, and on the penultimate ball of his over, the CSK youngster bowled a toe-crunching yorker which castled Kishan.

The dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were just the beginning as Choudhary got rid off Dewald Brevis as well, in the second over of his spell. 

Here's the video of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan's dismissals:

Talking about the match, CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja won the toss and he asked MI to bat first. The five-time champs suffered a batting collapse of sorts as they lost openers Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma on ducks in the first over itself, and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Young Tilak Varma remained unbeaten at 51 after 43 balls, and a late flurry from Jaydev Unadkat (19 off 9 balls) helped Mumbai rack up a total of 155/7 after 20 overs.

In reply, Ravindra Jadeja-led CSK also got off to a shaky start, and they also lost wickets at regular intervals but were still in the game right down to the final ball, thanks to a late flurry from MS Dhoni, who was ably supported by Dwaine Pretorius (22 off 14).
