IPL 2025 MI vs CSK: Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav Lead Mumbai Indians to a Dominant Victory

Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav's impressive half-centuries and outstanding shot-making made it easy for the Mumbai Indians (MI) to chase down the target against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), marking their third consecutive win.

To start the chase, MI opened with Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton, while CSK surprisingly chose Ravi Ashwin as their impact player, aiming to exploit the grip on the surface. Khaleel Ahmed opened the bowling for CSK, and although it was a tight start, Ryan Rickelton managed to hit two boundaries before Rohit Sharma took charge, effortlessly sending the ball over the boundary with powerful pulls and slogs.

Mumbai Indians dominated the powerplay, ending it at 63 without losing any wickets. Ravindra Jadeja secured the first breakthrough for CSK, dismissing Ryan Rickelton for 24 runs off 19 balls, with Ayush Mhatre taking a catch in the deep.

Rohit and Surya Show

Suryakumar Yadav was promoted to number 3, joining Rohit Sharma at the crease. CSK opted for a full-spin attack, but Rohit and Suryakumar countered effectively. As Rohit approached his half-century, Suryakumar aggressively took on the spinners, sweeping them with precision.

Rohit Sharma reached his first fifty of the season in just 32 balls and continued to find boundaries. Their strategy was clear: they never allowed CSK bowlers, including Noor Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana, to dominate the game, effectively taking control away from CSK.

With 44 runs needed off the last 7 overs, Rohit and Suryakumar launched an attack on the bowlers, finishing the match with 4 overs to spare. The duo formed a formidable partnership, scoring a combined total of 114 runs off 54 balls, with Rohit Sharma contributing 76 runs off 45 balls and Suryakumar Yadav adding 68 runs off 30 balls. This victory marked MI's third consecutive win at Wankhede Stadium.

With this win, MI climbed to 6th position in the IPL 2025 points table, while CSK remained at the bottom.
