Shivam Dube delivered his much-anticipated half-century while Ravindra Jadeja provided crucial support with a fifty of his own, propelling Chennai Super Kings to a total of 176/5 in their full 20 overs. First-time player Ayush Mhatre contributed significantly with a quick-fire 32 runs from just 15 balls at the beginning of the innings, before CSK experienced a brief lull in the middle overs, eventually regaining momentum as the match progressed. MS Dhoni had a disappointing outing, scoring only 4 runs before falling to Jasprit Bumrah, who claimed 2 wickets overall.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to field first against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings in the 37th match of Indian Premier League 2025 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Both teams made two changes to their lineups – Mumbai Indians brought in Ashwani Kumar to replace Karn Sharma, while Chennai Super Kings handed a debut to Ayush Mhatre. The teams entered this encounter following victories in their previous matches.
Despite CSK historically performing well against MI, even during their inconsistent results in the league over the past two seasons, the Super Kings now find themselves potentially one defeat away from being eliminated from the race for the fourth Playoff position. Chennai has strengthened their batting lineup with the additions of Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, addressing an area of their game that has yet to reach its full potential this season.
