Mumbai has elevated to the top spot after registering five consecutive victories and with the pacing victories, Mumbai Indians had largely increased the possibilities of reserving the berth in the playoffs.
Dinesh Karthik's decision of stepping down as the captain has come when KKR is getting ready for its battle against the triumphing Mumbai Indians on Friday in Abu Dhabi.
The men in yellow had lost five matches including a hat-trick defeat and the team had shown that it is yet to fix the faltering batting line-up to have a tenacious revival for the rest of the season.
The defeat had put the flawed performance to light and pushed the team to fix what's going wrong despite being left with lesser possibilities to enter the playoffs.
For Dhoni's army, it's a must-win with no plan B and with no second thought as the CSK should have a strong resurgence in the upcoming matches to reserve a berth in the play-offs.
Veteran Cricketer Irfan Pathan took to Twitter and said, "All the players giving their best, sometimes it just doesn’t work but it’s doesn’t give anyone any authority to give a threat to a young child".
With having eight matches in hand, Dhoni's army has been pushed to the stage that it needs to win at least six matches to reserve the berth in the playoffs of the current season.
If you had seen the match of CSK vs KKR, you wouldn't have missed the splendid catch of MS Dhoni, which indisputably proved that age doesn't matter for the real and finest sportstar.
Dhoni said, "we need to be innovative at the end when they are continuously hitting a back of a length. That's where we need to adapt better with the bat and I don't think we did that".
