IPL 2025: Noor’s 4-18, Rachin’s 65* Help CSK Register Four-wicket Win Over MI (ld)
Chennai Super Kings: In the run-up to the first part of the El Clasico clash in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Chennai Super Kings always looked like the stronger side and the five-time champions justified that billing by registering a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the third game of the ongoing tournament at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
CSK’s win was set up by their new bowlers Noor Ahmad’s 4-18 and Khaleel Ahmed’s 3-29, as they kept MI to 155/9 in their 20 overs. In the chase, Gaikwad mixed aggression and timing to hit six fours and three sixes while bringing up his fifty in 22 balls, his fastest half-century in the tournament.
Despite wickets falling from the other end, Rachin Ravindra held one end up to hit an unbeaten 45-ball 65, laced with two fours and four sixes, as CSK completed a nervy win with five balls to spare. For MI, who have not won their first match of an IPL season since 2012, debutant left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur’s spell of 3-32 would be the biggest positive.
