Chennai Super Kings  

As the stage is set for the final IPL match against Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium, let us take a look at the players who have given disappointing performances this season

After winning IPL 2018, Chennai's coach Stephen Fleming spoke about the importance of retaining the 'core group' and giving them confidence throughout the tournament

Mumbai Indians' spinners Rahul Chahar, Krunal Pandya, and Jayant Yadav bowled brilliantly on a pitch that was turning square. Rohit Sharma assessed the conditions shrewdly and attacked with his spinners from both ends, and this is where Rohit Sharma outperformed MS Dhoni as captain

Mumbai lost their openers early, but Suryakumar Yadav held his nerve and batted through the innings to get his team over the finish line. With this win, Mumbai Indians are through to the finals. They will now play the winner of Qualifier 2.
 

Kings XI Punjab co-owner Preity Zinta took to Twitter to warn Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni about his adorable little daughter Ziva

Chasing a target of 179, the Delhi Capitals could never really get past the CSK spinners in the run chase. Imran Tahir along with Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh ran through Capitals’ middle-order

Rohit Sharma registered a half century after 16 long innings, but it came at a time when the team needed the most. His 67 runs off 48 balls along with Evin Lewis' 32 off 30 helped Mumbai Indians to post 155 runs on the board.

Watson was dropped on 33 by SRH wicketkeeper Bairstow off Sandeep Sharma. This catch turned out to be very costly as Watson scored 63 runs off 27 balls at a strike rate of 233 after that.

Chennai Super Kings won the match against Sunrisers Hyderbad by six wickets on Tuesday. The Chennai side is once again at the top of the IPL score table with 16 points.

Batting first, RCB made 161 runs in 20 overs. Kohli and AB de Villiers fell early but Parthiv Patel held one end up and played a very solid innings of 53 runs off 37 balls. 

Surprisingly, CSK, which has been on a dream run, suddenly suffered a loss to Hyderabad — a team that lost three matches on the trot 

The 'Men in Yellow' restricted the opposition to a below-par total of 161 and chased it comfortably in the end to register their seventh win.
