Chennai Super Kings suffered their sixth defeat of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, this time at the hands of Mumbai Indians. While CSK had emerged victorious in their first encounter against the five-time champions, the tide turned in the reverse fixture.

Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians are now on a three-match winning streak, with their latest win coming at the expense of the struggling CSK side. Tactical errors and questionable decisions proved costly for CSK, as their first-innings total of 176 at the loss of five wickets was never going to be enough against a formidable Mumbai batting lineup. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav effortlessly dismantled the target, exposing the flaws in CSK's bowling and match strategy.
