The result also saw MI continuing their 13-year long unwanted streak of losing the opening match of their campaign. The side last won their IPL campaign opener back in 2012 and has been losing since then. Talking about the game in Chennai, CSK's Noor Ahmed (4 for 18) and Khaleel Ahmed (3 for 29) together broke the spine of MI, restricting the side to 155 for 9 in 20 overs. In the chase, CSK were always ahead, thanks to Rachin's 65 not out off 45. The 24-year-old debutant Vignesh Puthur was the silver lining for MI in the loss as he impressed with figures of 3 for 32, taking some crucial wickets. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad also contributed with a crucial 53 off 26. (Scorecard)

- 22:46 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Smart play from CSK!This is good batting from CSK's Rachin Ravindra and Ravindra Jadeja. The duo know that the asking rate is well under control and so they relied on taking singles and managed to get six runs off the Naman Dhir over. Chennai Super Kings need 31 runs in 24 balls.CSK 125/5 (16)
- 22:42 (IST)
- 22:29 (IST)CSK vs MI Live Updates: Another wicket for Puthur!This is magical bowling from the left-arm wrist spinner as he has claimed his third wicket in the third over. Deepak Hooda went for a biggie and failed to connect it well, and ended up being caught out in deep. That is wicket number three for Mumbai's debutant Vignesh Puthur.CSK 107/4 (11.4)
- 22:26 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: SIX!Vignesh Puthur starts his third over with another flighted delivery and Rachin Ravindra showed him his class.

- 22:11 (IST)
- 22:05 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Fifty for Ruturaj Gaikwad!A single and Ruturaj Gaikwad races to his half-century in just 22 balls. This is the CSK captain's fastest fifty in Indian Premier League. He is playing at a strike rate over 220 but such effortless his stroke play is that it never felt like that. CSK are cruising towards the total.CSK 74/1 (7)
- 22:00 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: End of powerplay!14 runs came off Mitchell Santner's first over. Chennai Super Kings are right in command at the end of first powerplay. They lost just one wicket and have scored more than 10 runs per over. CSK need 94 runs in 84 balls. Mumbai Indians badly need a wicket to keep themselves motivated.CSK 62/1 (6)
- 21:54 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Raju goes expensive!Satyanarayana Raju, the pacer who is playing for Mumbai Indians in place of recovering bowler Jasprit Bumrah, leaked 13 runs in his first over. Ruturaj Gaikwad slammed the 25-year-old fast bowler for two consecutive fours as he failed to keep his line tight.CSK 48/1 (5)
- 21:45 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Boult goes expensive!This Trent Boult over has taken the pressure off the back of Chennai Super Kings. 12 runs came off it as Ruturaj Gaikwad slammed two fours in the first two balls of the over. The right-handed batter doesn't have a good record vs Bount but tonight looks different.CSK 24/1 (3)
- 21:39 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: OUT!Chennai Super Kings' strategy has backfired as Deepak Chahar has dismissed Rahul Tripathi. CSK decided to send impact sub Tripathi ahead of Gaikwad but the former batter failed with a 3-ball 2. It was a short ball from Chahar and Tripathi mistimed it. The ball lobbed behind and fell into the hands of wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton.CSK 11/1 (1.4)
- 21:27 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Light show underway!A light show took place at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Just when it ended, the Mumbai Indians players walked into the stadium. Rachin Ravindra is out there to open and it is a surprise plan from CSK as Rahul Tripathi, an impact sub, walks out to accompany the captain. So no Ruturaj Gaikwad as opener.
- 21:24 (IST)IPL 2025 Live: This total should be chased down, says Khaleel"I felt good (bowling in the powerplay) because I like to swing the ball and that's my strength. If I bowl three overs I think I get it on the basis of my strengths. At the start I was looking for swing, but it wasn't doing much. Then in the middle overs Noor, Jaddu, Ashwin did well. I feel this (total) should be chased down," said Khaleel Ahmed at the innings break.

The iconic Ravi Shastri met with the teams ahead of the #CSKvMI clash #TATAIPL | @RaviShastriOfc pic.twitter.com/wpEHY7mILH - 21:13 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Mumbai Indians post 155 for 9!Mumbai Indians have got a fighting total on the board. Deepak Chahar's 28 not out off 15 helps them get past the 150-run mark. Suryakumar Yadav (29) and Tilak Varma (31) too played decent knocks but none of them could take their innings deep, courtesy Noor Ahmad. The spinner dismissed both SKY and Tilak and ended his four overs with quota of 4 for 18.MI 155/9 (20)
- 21:01 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: WICKET!Good review from Chennai Super Kings and they earn a wicket for it. Nathan Ellis' delivery skid and hit Mitchell Santner's pad. The pacer appealed for an LBW but umpire was unconvinced. Even MS Dhoni suggested captain Ruturaj Gaikwad that it would have gone over the stumps, but Ellis convinced the skipper to go upstairs. Ball-tracking revealed it was out and Ellis could not control his happiness as he hugged Dhoni in celebration.MI 128/8 (18)
- 20:52 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: OUT!More trouble for Mumbai Indians as their last recognised batter Naman Dhir is out! Noor Ahmed gets his fourth wicket. What a sensational spell this is turning out to be! He spun it around the legs of Naman to clean up the batter. Note that he still has five deliveries left in his spell.MI 118/7 (16.1)
- 20:49 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: Timeout!Eight runs came off Nathan Ellis' over. While Khaleel Ahmed rocked Mumbai Indians' start, Noor Ahmed poured cold water on the side's fightback. Four more overs are remaining in the MI innings. Naman Dhir and Mitchell Santner are out there at the middle for the side.MI 118/6 (16)
- 20:44 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: End of 15 overs!Good control from Chennai Super Kings this is! They have bowled really well and that sees Mumbai Indians still under pressure despite a good partnership from Tilak and Suryakumar. Five more overs remaining and MI must get something around 160 to put up a good fight.MI 110/6 (15)
- 20:37 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: WICKET!Noor Ahmad gets the wicket of Tilak Varma! The MI batter is gone for 31 off 25 balls and Mumbai Indians are six down. Chennai Super Kings are right on top of this game. This is the third wicket for Noor and he litereally broken the back of MI.MI 96/6 (13)
- 20:32 (IST)CSK vs MI Live Score: CSK back in control!Just one run came off Ravichandran Ashwin's over. The wicket of Suryakumar Yadav puts Chennai Super Kings back in control of the game. Tilak Varma is still there at the crease and Mumbai Indians would want him to take his innings deep.MI 92/4 (12)
- 20:23 (IST)CSK vs MI Live: OUT!Suryakumar Yadav is OUT! Quick glovework from MSD behind the stumps and SKY doesn't even wait for third umpire's decision and walks away. It was infact a lightning-fast stumping from Dhoni. In real-time, he clipped off the bails at the blink of an eye. Mumbai Indians are four down.MI 87/4 (10.3)
- 20:15 (IST)CSK vs MI Live Score: SIX!Tilak Varma hit a beautiful slog-sweep to Ravindra Jadeja on the first ball of the over for a six. The spinner managed to make a good comeback after that and conceded overall 10 runs in it. The duo of Tilak and Surya has added 40 runs off 27 balls for the fourth wicket so far.MI 76/3 (9)
