Five-time IPL winners MI started their 2025 season with a defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings as their opening day woes continued. Mumbai were put to bat first by CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad as the hosts had some immediate results at the MA Chidambaram Stadium with the dismissal of Rohit Sharma for a duck off new seamer Khaleel Ahmed’s delivery. The seamer doubled his tally with the subsequent scalp of Ryan Rickelton
New-Mumbai boy Will Jacks fell to returning CSK hometown hero Ravichandran Ashwin for 11 runs before stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma stabilised the innings with a 51-runs stand before Yadav fell to Noor Ahmed with MS Dhoni acting quick behind the stumps to send the maverick batter off after having added 29 runs. Afghan spinner Ahmed went on to quadruple down on his wickets tally on his CSK debut with the dismissals of Varma, who top scored with 31 runs, Robin Minz and Naman Dhir. Mitchell Santner fell to Nathan Ellis and Trent Boult was Khaleel’s third victim on the day.
A late unbeaten 28-run flourish from former CSK player Deepak Chahar helped Mumbai post a total of 155/9 in their 20 overs.
Chennai, backed by their vociferous home crowd, managed to chase down the total with 4 wickets and 5 deliveries to spare as captain Gaikwad and Kiwi opener Rachin Ravindra led the side with half-centuries.
Gaikwad’s 53-run innings helped Chennai take command of the game before he fell to debutant Vignesh Puthut, but Ravindra produced a sensible innings to remain unbeaten at 65 runs in just 45 deliveries to help CSK over the line in their opening assignment of 2025.
