Mumbai Indians delivered a dominant performance to crush Chennai Super Kings by 9 wickets at Wankhede. Chasing 177, MI raced to victory with 26 balls remaining. Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on 76 off 45 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav smashed 68* off 37. The pair stitched a 137-run stand to seal the win. MI’s powerplay score of 62 without loss set the tone as CSK bowlers failed to apply any pressure.
This marks Mumbai’s fourth win of the season, lifting them to sixth on the table with a net run rate of +0.483. CSK, on the other hand, suffered their sixth defeat and remain near the bottom. The Wankhede trend continued, with three of four matches going in favor of teams chasing.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians opted to bowl first after winning the toss against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium. Ashwani Kumar provided the early breakthrough by removing Rachin Ravindra for just 5 during the powerplay. Despite the setback, CSK posted a competitive total of 176 for 5 in 20 overs. Shivam Dube scored 50 from 32 balls, while Ravindra Jadeja anchored the innings with an unbeaten 53 off 35 deliveries. The duo added 79 runs for the fourth wicket. On his IPL debut, Ayush Mhatre impressed with a 32-run cameo off just 17 balls, including 4 fours and 2 sixes. His knock ended after the powerplay, dismissed by Deepak Chahar.
Chennai’s middle order stabilized the innings after early wickets, setting a challenging target for Mumbai Indians on a surface that tends to favor chasing sides. Despite a decent total of 176 by CSK, the target looked below par on a batter-friendly surface. MI’s batters took full control and ensured a comprehensive finish.
Mumbai is aiming top 4 now. Back to back wins from a top quality team. Rohit’s form is big plus for them now.

जब RO और KO मैदान पर उतरते हैं, तो हर संडे बन जाता है सुपर संडे। भारतीय क्रिकेट के दो स्तंभ — KO के ताल से ताल मिलाकर चलते हैं RO, और सूर्या तो हमेशा चमकते हैं। अब जब #MumbaiIndians लय में लौट आई है, तो संदेश साफ़ है: रोक सको तो ROKO।#MIvsCSK#TATAIPL#JioHotstar #rohitsharma pic.twitter.com/8EsCPheGic

Rohit sharma looked in total control today. No one better than him hitting sixes with such ease.
