The iconic Wankhede Stadium witnessed yet another dominant performance from the Mumbai Indians as they comfortably defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 9 wickets in their latest IPL 2025 encounter. The victory was led by former captain Rohit Sharma and dynamic batter Suryakumar Yadav, who stitched together a clinical run chase to guide the home team to an emphatic win.
CSK’s Batting Struggles Continue
Batting first, Chennai Super Kings once again faltered at the top, failing to gain momentum early in their innings. Despite their struggles, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and left-handed power-hitter Shivam Dube showcased resilience and played crucial knocks to take CSK to a competitive total of 176 runs. However, it wasn’t enough to challenge the in-form Mumbai batting unit on a pitch that played true throughout the game.
MI’s Commanding Chase
Chasing 177, Mumbai Indians made the target look like a walk in the park. While Ryan Rickelton played a handy knock of 24 runs to set the tone, it was the experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav who stole the show. Rohit looked in sublime touch, scoring a well-compiled 76 off just 45 deliveries, filled with classic strokes and calculated aggression. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav was at his explosive best, smashing 68 off just 30 balls to wrap up the chase in style.
The partnership between the two ensured MI didn’t lose momentum at any stage, eventually clinching the match with 9 wickets in hand and several overs to spare.
Sonal Chauhan Becomes the Center of Attention
While Mumbai’s on-field performance earned plaudits, the presence of Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan in the stands also caught the attention of fans and media alike. A video of her cheering for the Mumbai Indians went viral on social media platforms, creating quite a buzz. Dressed in a stylish black and white striped t-shirt, the actress made multiple appearances on the big screen during the broadcast, drawing cheers from the crowd every time.
Interestingly, this wasn’t her first appearance this season at the Wankhede. Sonal was also spotted during MI’s previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where she turned heads with her elegant look in a white t-shirt.
After Mumbai's victory, Sonal declared her love for Rohit Sharma and said he was her favorite cricket player.
