MS Dhoni hit an unbeaten 28 off 13 as Chennai Super Kings chased down Mumbai Indians' 155/7. Catch MI v CSK highlights and score.
The pro-Indian government militia, Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen—that targeted Pakistan-backed militants in Kashmir—was launched in 1993 by popular folk singer-turned militant Kuka Parray
In Uttar Pradesh, especially, encounter killings have become the new normal and have gained wider acceptability among civilians as well as law enforcement agencies in the past few years.
The culture of rifles among Adivasis, aided by the ever-increasing deployment of paramilitary forces, has permanently mutated the central Indian forests in Chhattisgarh.
The highest levels of government keep encouraging police, paramilitary and army units to eliminate "undesirables" even as the public cheers the rogue elements from the sidelines
The secret killings are not the first cases of alleged extrajudicial killings in Assam. Since the 1990s, individual cases of extrajudicial killings have been reported in the state.
Chennai Super Kings, after restricting bitter rivals Mumbai Indians to 155/7, invoked MS Dhoni to salvage their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. A three-wicket win at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai ensured that the defending champions still have a realistic chance of making the IPL playoffs. They now have four points from seven matches with two wins. Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions, are as good as out with seven defeats in seven. Can they win the remaining seven matches and do the unthinkable? Probably not this time. For the record, they now own the unwanted record of losing the first seven matches in a season. Chennai Super Kings captain Ravindra Jadeja won the toss and opted to bowl first, and Mukesh Choudhary rattled Mumbai with early wickets. But Tilak Varma hit an unbeaten 51 off 43 to help Mumbai post a fighting total, and they almost registered their first win. Unfortunately for them though, the greatest finisher in the game was still there. Daniel Sams bowled his hearts out, and took four wickets in a losing cause.

Three changes for Mumbai Indians. Riley Meredith and Hrithik Shokeen are making debuts for Mumbai Indians, and Daniel Sams is back.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Hrithik Shokeen, Riley Meredith, Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah.
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary.
Chennai Super Kings win the toss, and they bowl first. Two changes for the defending champions. Dwaine Pretorius and Mitchell Santner are in for Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan.
Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken four wickets in six matches in IPL 2022, turned philosophical after MI lost to IPL debutants Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs on April 16. It will be Bumrah's 200th T20 match tonight and a win will be a perfect way to celebrate this milestone day. Interestingly, it will be Robin Uthappa's 200th IPL game today and CSK will bank on his ability to score quick runs at the top of the order.
Rohit Sharma has not been his usual self in IPL 2022. The Indian captain has been a big match player and a good knock against Chennai Super Kings is more than overdue. Since 2018, MI have won seven of their eight games whenever Rohit Sharma has scored a fifty. MI fans will keep their fingers crossed!
On the eve of the match, Mumbai Indians shared a video of Arjun Tendulkar in action. The left-arm pacer was captured dismissing a left-hander with a searing yorker.
