CSK vs MI: Who won yesterday’s IPL 2025 match?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by four wickets in yesterday's IPL 2025 match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Bowling first after winning the toss, CSK held MI to 155-9. In the chase, Chennai Super Kings got home in 19.1 overs.

Afghanistan wrist spinner Noor Ahmad was the star of the show for Chennai with the ball in hand. The franchise's most expensive purchase (₹10 crore), Noor proved his worth by registering excellent figures of 4-18. Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed also impressed with 3-29 as the Super Kings controlled proceedings.

MI got off to a disastrous start as Rohit Sharma (0) flicked one from Khaleel straight to midwicket. Ryan Rickelton (13) then dragged a delivery from the pacer back onto his stumps. Mumbai Indians were 36-3 inside the powerplay when Ravichandran Ashwin sent back Will Jacks (11) in his first over - the big-hitting batter holed out to extra cover.

Stand-in MI skipper Suryakumar Yadav (29 off 26) tried to hold the innings together, but perished to Noor courtesy of a super-quick stumping from 43-year-old MS Dhoni. The CSK spinner also dismissed Robin Minz (3) before trapping Tilak Varma (31) lbw with one that spun in sharply. Following the procession of wickets, Deepak Chahar's cameo of 28* in 15 balls took Chennai past 150.

Gaikwad's superb knock ended when he perished in an attempt to take on debutant MI wrist spinner Vignesh Puthur in the youngster's first over. In his next over, Puthur claimed his second scalp as Shivam Dube (9) caught while looking to launch a straight drive. Deepak Hooda (3) also perished in his endeavor to take on the spinner. Jacks then knocked over Sam Curran (4).

At 116-5, Mumbai Indians had faint hopes of victory. Rachin Ravindra (65* off 45), however, anchored the innings, only opening up towards the end. He launched Puthur for two maximums in the spinner's last over. Rachin also sealed Chennai's win in style, lofting his Kiwi teammate and captain Mitchell Santner for a six.
