IPL 2025: Rohit, Suryakumar’s fireworks power MI to nine-wicket win over CSK

MUMBAI: Impressive half-centuries from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav powered Mumbai Indians (MI) to a powerful nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a one-sided Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

The crowd at Wankhede could not experience MS Dhoni’s six-hitting. However, the home side’s superstar batter, Rohit made up for it with a return-to-form fifty and Suryakumar joined his long-time teammate in unleashing carnage on helpless CSK bowlers during what was an effortless chase of 177 runs in just 15.4 overs. MI are in sixth spot with four wins in four matches, with eight points. CSK are at the bottom with just two wins and six losses.

Chasing 177 runs, MI were off to a fine start as Ryan Rickelton hammered Khaleel Ahmed for two fours in the first over, setting the tone. In the third over, Rohit took down Khaleel, with two fours and a six in his vintage avatar.
