CSK’s 5 best batting performances of all time in IPL
With the 2024 IPL edition just a few weeks away, it’s time to revisit the best knocks of the defending champions.
2. Murali Vijay’s 113 against Delhi Capitals, 2012
CSK failed to win the trophy three consecutive times in 2012 but during the competition, they played an aggressive brand of cricket and concluded their journey as runners-up. In the second qualifier, Murali Vijay did wonders with his bat against Delhi Capitals (DC) and helped Chennai register an 86-run win.
Winning the toss, DC captain Virender Sehwag elected to field first on Chennai’s batting surface, and taking advantage of the conditions, Vijay assaulted bowlers and made Delhi’s skipper regret his decision. He produced an incredible knock of 113 off 58 from his bat and helped his side amass 222 runs on the board. It was the second ton of his IPL career.
Pursuing the enormous target, DC collapsed under pressure and got folded on 136 in 16.5 overs. Vijay’s amazing innings made him the recipient of the Player of the Match award at the end of the day.
