Chennai: Chennai Super Kings kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians here on Sunday.
Chasing 156, CSK rode on Rachin Ravindra’s unbeaten 65 and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 53 to romp home in 19.1 overs.
Mumbai Indians scored 155 for nine against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match here on Sunday.
CSK now join RCB and SRH as the sides who managed to win their opening game, thanks to an unbeaten fifty from New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra, that helped the side tackle MI’s spin attack to avoid a home upset.
Electing to bowl first, the home side were off to a flying start, as Khaleel Ahmed dismissed the ‘highly-dangerous’ Rohit Sharma for a duck, after bowling 3 consecutive dot balls to him.
