Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by four wickets in the third match of IPL 2025 at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, March 23.

After being invited to bat first, MI reached a respectable total of 155/9 in 20 overs on a turning track. Tilak Varma (31), Suryakumar Yadav (29), and Deepak Chahar (28*) performed decently, while the rest of the batters failed to chip in for the visiting side. Noor Ahmad (4/18) and Khaleel Ahmed (3/29) were the picks of CSK bowlers.
In response, CSK scored 158/6 in 19.1 overs to win the match and begin their IPL 2025 on a positive note.

"Nice to be on the winning side"- CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad after beating MI in the IPL 2025 clash at the Chepauk
At the post-match presentation, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad reflected on the win in their opening contest of IPL 2025 against MI and said:
"Nice to be on the winning side. That was the requirement for the team. Rahul can go out there and play his aggressive game at the top. I can play in both gears. They were right on point. We were really excited having the three spinners bowling in tandem at Chepauk. Yes definitely, Khaleel has been doing well in the last two three years."
He continued:
"Noor is an X factor, good to have Ash bhai as well. I mean MS is still the same. He is fitter than previous here and has smashed the biggest sixes in practice. He doesn't practice too much of keeping to be honest."
