Mumbai Indians delivered a commanding performance as Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav dismantled Chennai Super Kings’ bowling attack, securing a decisive 9-wicket triumph by chasing down 177 runs with 26 balls to spare.
The Chennai batting effort was anchored by Shivam Dube’s much-anticipated half-century, complemented by Ravindra Jadeja’s equally significant fifty, helping CSK reach 176/5 in their allotted 20 overs. CSK debutant Ayush Mhatre made an immediate impact with a quick-fire 32 off just 15 deliveries during the powerplay, providing early momentum before the innings temporarily lost steam in the middle overs before recovering later. Former captain MS Dhoni had a forgettable outing, managing only 4 runs before falling to Jasprit Bumrah, who finished with 2 wickets.
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 brought in Ashwani Kumar to replace Karn Sharma, while Chennai handed a debut to Ayush Mhatre. The teams entered the contest with momentum, having secured victories in their previous matches.
