SRH vs RR IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a confident four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at Chepauk. The victory extended MI’s unwanted streak—they haven’t won an opening match since 2012.
New Bowling Duo Crushes MI Batting
CSK’s off-season signings delivered immediate impact, with Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed wreaking havoc. Noor stole the show with a stunning 4/18—his best IPL figures—while Khaleel’s debut for CSK was equally impressive, bagging 3/29. Their combined efforts restricted MI to a modest 155/9 in 20 overs.
Gaikwad, Rachin Ensure Smooth Chase
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad made the chase look effortless, smashing a quick-fire 53 off 26 balls. However, MI debutant Vignesh Puthur briefly put CSK under pressure, taking 3/32 with his crafty left-arm wrist spin. Despite the hiccup, Rachin Ravindra held his nerve, anchoring the innings with an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls to guide CSK home.
With yet another opening-game defeat, MI’s unlucky streak now stretches to 13 seasons. Meanwhile, CSK’s clinical performance sends a strong message to the rest of the league—this squad means business.
