Chennai Super Kings made a commanding start to their IPL 2025 title defence, defeating rivals Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets in front of a capacity crowd at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians were bowled out for a modest 148 in 19.2 overs after CSK's bowlers produced an inspired display. Deepak Chahar was the pick of the bowlers with 4/23.
Ruturaj Gaikwad led CSK's chase with an imperious 87 not out off 52 balls, hitting 9 fours and 4 sixes. Devon Conway supported him with a brisk 58.
