Naman Dhir to Ravindra JadejaOUT! RUN OUT! A needless mix-up in the middle and Jadeja departs. Back of a length on the pads Jadeja tucks across off the back foot to the square leg region and looks for a single. Is through for one but Rachin Ravindra at the other end turns back to deny the single. However Jadeja puts the skates on and rushes to the other end ball-watching. Soon realises as the fielder Deepak Chahar throws to the keeper and Rickelton whips the bails off. The umpires request Jadeja to stay as they want to check whether he crossed Rachin in the process to get to the other end. Butafter a few checks it is deemed that Jadeja is out.

Right then, that wraps up a double-header Sunday. Earlier in Hyderabad, we witnessed an absolute run-fest, with a staggering match aggregate of 528 runs, where Sunrisers Hyderabad emerged victorious. Then, in Chennai, the El Clasico saw Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra build on the bowlers' efforts to guide the Chennai Super Kings to a winning start. The action in the 2025 IPL rolls into a new week on Monday, 24th March, as Delhi Capitals take on Lucknow Super Giants at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as always, you can join us early for the build-up. See you then. Cheers!
Right then, we are going to the final over with CSK needing 4 runs. Mitchell Santner (2-0-18-0) has been given the ball.
MS Dhoni makes his way out to the centre, and the roar is deafening.
A big mix-up results in a wicket, but the Chepauk crowd erupts nonetheless, sensing what’s coming next. The third umpire is just checking which one of the two batters is to be adjudged out here. It is confirmed that Jadeja had not crossed Rachin Ravindra and the Indian all-rounder will be given out.
Naman Dhir (2-0-10-0) returns to the attack with CSK needing 6 more runs.
Vignesh Puthur is back for his last over. 3-0-17-3 so far for the chinaman on debut.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Chennai Super Kings have their noses in front in this chase despite a slight stutter against spin. Thanks to the start provided by Ruturaj Gaikwad, the required run rate remains under control. One big over is all they need to put this game to bed. We have seen crazy things happen in the game of cricket, and Mumbai Indians will be hoping for one of those twists. From their perspective, Rachin Ravindra’s wicket would be ideal. It could send some serious shivers down the CSK camp and open the door for a late fightback. Suryakumar Yadav turns to pace in the form of Trent Boult. 2-0-17-0 so far for Boult.
Ravindra Jadeja is in at number 7.
Change? No. Will Jacks (3-0-29-0) to continue.
Naman Dhir is introduced into the attack now. He replaces Vignesh Puthur.
Will Jacks (2-0-25-0) is back on.
Sam Curran is the new batter in for CSK at number 6.
Deepak Hooda is the new man in.
Shivam Dube comes out to bat.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Chennai Super Kings will be quite pleased with their start. Mumbai Indians managed to strike early but couldn’t capitalize on the breakthrough, struggling with their lines and lengths. They will need to tighten up if they are to apply any pressure on CSK from here. Mitchell Santner was far from his usual self in the first over, conceding 14 runs, and with an inexperienced spin attack, he will need to step up if MI are to have any chance in this game. Suryakumar Yadav could soon turn to spin from both ends, with Will Jacks and Vignesh Puthur being the options at his disposal. As far as CSK are concerned, it is all about batting sensibly from here. As expected, Jacks comes into the attack after the break.
A change in bowling. Featuring in his first IPL game, here's Satyanarayana Raju into the attack. He replaces Trent Boult.
Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is in at number 3.
Deepak Chahar to share the attack from the far end.
