In an exciting IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings, Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad shone with four wickets, helping secure a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. Ruturaj Gaikwad's 53, along with Rachin Ravindra's unbeaten 65, played key roles in CSK's successful chase of 155 runs in 19.1 overs. It also maintained MI's sorry record of not winning their IPL opener in 13 years.

In a thrilling debut for Chennai Super Kings, Afghanistan mystery spinner Noor Ahmad showcased his talent by taking four wickets, helping the team secure a four-wicket victory over their arch-rivals, the Mumbai Indians, in the Indian Premier League on Sunday. After CSK opted to bowl first on a slow pitch, Ahmad's impressive performance restricted Mumbai to a modest total of 155/9.
CSK's captain Ruturaj Gaikwad contributed significantly, scoring a brilliant 53 runs off just 26 balls while batting at number three, instead of his usual opening position alongside Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra later played a crucial role, finishing the match with an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls to guide CSK home in 19.1 overs.

IPL debutant Vignesh Puthur, a left-arm spinner from Kerala, made a remarkable impact despite having no prior experience in senior cricket. He claimed 3/32, taking down Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and Deepak Hooda in quick succession, putting CSK under pressure as none of the batsmen could effectively tackle the rookie spinner.

Ravindra brought excitement to the crowd by hitting a couple of sixes off Puthur towards the end. The atmosphere peaked when M. S. Dhoni came to bat with just four runs needed, but it was Ravindra who sealed the victory with a six.
With this loss, the Mumbai Indians continued their unfortunate streak of failing to win their opening match of the IPL since 2012.
