Rajesh Sorte's impressive bowling figures of 3 wickets for 23 runs in just 2 overs played a crucial role in this historic win for the Singams, marking their first triumph over Majhi Mumbai in ISPL history.

Chennai Singams Establish a Strong Foundation

After winning the toss, Captain Ankur Singh opted to bat first, a decision that proved beneficial as the Chennai Singams showcased their batting strength. Jagannath Sarkar ignited the innings with an explosive start, scoring 15 runs in just 5 balls, leaving the team at 19-0 after the first over.

Rajesh Sorte's Bowling Prowess Stifles Mumbai's Chase
