NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians suffered another defeat in IPL 2026, going down to Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.During the match, an unfortunate incident occurred in the 12th over of the Mumbai Indians innings. Tilak Varma was struck on the wrist by a delivery from CSK pacer Jamie Overton, causing his wristwatch to come off.After being hit, Tilak signalled towards the dugout, and the physio immediately rushed in to check on him. His fitness tracking wristband had come loose following the impact.Once the physio attended to him, Tilak put the watch back on and resumed batting.Tilak had attempted a scoop shot off Overton but missed it completely, with the ball striking his wrist and dislodging the device, which fell to the ground.According to information available online, the device appears to be a WHOOP fitness tracking band, which costs around Rs 28,000.CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad continued his fine form, scoring his second successive half-century of the season as Chennai cruised to a commanding win.Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 67 off 48 balls, sharing an unbroken 98-run stand for the third wicket with Kartik Sharma (54 not out) to chase down the target of 160 comfortably after Mumbai were restricted to 159/7.Mumbai Indians’ struggles persist, with just two wins in nine matches, leaving them on four points, while CSK moved up to eight points from nine games.
