The 38^th match of the IPL 2025 saw Mumbai Indians (MI) hosting Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 20, 2025. MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. MI made no change in the XI, while CSK gave debut to Ayush Mhatre.

Ravindra Jadeja (53*), Shivam Dube (50 with 4 sixes and 3 fours) and Ayush Mhatre with 32 in 15 on debut were the main scorers for the CSK team. They posted 176/5 in 20 overs. For MI, Jasprit Bumrah took 2/25 in his 4 overs.

In response, CSK managed to take only one wicket, that of Ryan Rickelton, who made 24 runs. But then Rohit Sharma roared into form with 76* in 45 balls with 4 fours and 6 sixes. He added 114* runs for the second wicket with Suryakumar Yadav.

Suryakumar made 68* in 30 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes and he finished the game with two sixes of Matheesha Pathirana, as MI won the game by 9 wickets in the end.

MI moved to 6^th spot in the IPL 2025 points table with 8 points from 8 games, while CSK slipped to 10^th spot with 4 points from 8 games.

The cricket fraternity was all praises for the MI batters Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav for their win over CSK.

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

RCB and MI make string headway with crushing wins. Punjab off-colour and CSK still wallowing in a rut. Run machine Kohli’s landmark half century quells PBKS while Rohit’s blazing knock gives MI’s campaign a fillip. With Bumrah splendid with ball, MI seem have turned the corner

So Mumbai Indians are now officially on track in the race to Top 4; and with Surya in such dominating form, it’s Rohit Sharma’s knock today that will gladden their hearts. Could well be the riddle fitting into the jigsaw puzzle plaguing them #MIvsCSK

Extremely powerful performance from @mipaltan today. The 2nd half of the #TATAIPL is going to be very interesting

Well done @mipaltan back at their best. What a knock by these two champions @surya_14kumar @ImRo45 Total Domination #MIvCSK pic.twitter.com/z7zdzRwlNC

Clinical with the ball, and fearless with the bat. @mipaltan’s all-around dominance personified the MI brand. That’s the MI way. ????????
