Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were humiliated by Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday at Sharjah. They lost seven wickets on 43 runs, and half of their side was already back to the pavilion inside the powerplay.

At one stage, CSK were down four wickets on just three runs and there was a chance for MI to bowl them out under the lowest IPL score of 49 runs, scored by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

But Sam Curran's 52-run knock helped them to not only cross the lowest IPL total but also the 100-run mark. In the end, they managed to post a total of 114/9 in 20 overs.

After they crossed 49 runs, CSK's official Twitter handle took a jibe at RCB and posted, "At least, the 49 fiasco was averted. ???????? #WhistlePodu #Yellove #WhistleFromHome #CSKvMI".

Mumbai Indians chased down the target of 115 in just 12.2 overs by 10 wickets. This was CSK's first-ever loss by 10 wickets in IPL history.
