Kamboj took three wickets for just 32 runs in his four overs, dismissing key players including Will Jacks, Robin Minz, and Hardik Pandya. His efforts were supported by Noor Ahmad, who also excelled with the ball, claiming two wickets for 26 runs.
Mumbai Indians started strong, reaching 90/2 at the halfway mark. However, they faltered dramatically in the latter half of the innings, losing five wickets for only 69 runs. Naman Dhir was the standout performer for Mumbai, scoring 57 runs off 37 balls.
Kamboj’s performance places him as the joint-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026, with a total of 17 wickets from nine matches. This achievement underscores his vital role in Chennai’s campaign this season.
This match follows a significant victory for Chennai Super Kings earlier this season when they defeated Mumbai Indians by an impressive margin of 103 runs. Observers noted that such performances could be crucial as the tournament progresses.
