CSK vs MI Highlights, IPL 2026: Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kartik Sharma partnership seals win for CSK

Prashant Veer (1-0-18-0) is back on, but from the other end.

Noor Ahmad to Suryakumar Yadav, Length ball, on leg, bunted off the back foot to Noor.

Noor Ahmad to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Delicacy from SKY! Quicker googly, on a length, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav picks the wrong'un, stays back and guides it between the first slip and the short third fielders for a boundary to get off the mark.

The next batter is Suryakumar Yadav.

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Rickelton couldn't have picked a fielder any better there. This is full and tossed up around off. Rickelton gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it, but gets a bit of top edge and airs it straight down the throat of Urvil Patel at deep backward square leg, who makes no mistake. Rickelton's fun comes to an end after a proactive start. Noor looks up at the heavens as he gets his first wicket eventually and MI are 59/2.

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, Googly, pitched on a length outside off. Spins back in sharply as Rickelton drops to a knee, gets into a bit of a tangle, and attempts the reverse sweep against the spin. Loses his balance in the process, and the ball rolls away to backward point.

Noor Ahmad to Naman Dhir, PUT DOWN! Dube shells an absolute dolly. Noor is shellshocked and the crowd goes silent as well. A short ball, googly, outside off. Naman tries to cut it away but gets a thick outside edge and the ball lobs to the right of Dube. Shivam moves to his right from short third, but puts it down. A single taken.

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, Touch full and wide outside off, a normal leg break from Noor. Ryan Rickelton throws his bat at it and scythes it to deep point for a single.

End of the Powerplay, and Mumbai are in the ascendancy here. Noor Ahmad comes into the attack immediately after the fielding restrictions are lifted.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Much fuller on middle, Ryan flicks it off the front foot to deep mid-wicket for a single. 10 runs off the over. MI finish their Powerplay strongly at 57/1.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Low full toss, around off, Ryan drives it to mid off but cannot get it past.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Sharp inswing, from middle to leg, Ryan Rickelton whips the fuller one off the inner half to deep backward square leg for two runs.

Mukesh Choudhary to Naman Dhir, Back of a length, at 125.5 kph, skidding through on the leg stump line. Naman Dhir tries to work it across off the back foot, but plays all over it and wears it on the thigh pad. The ball rolls in front of backward point and they cross for a leg bye. A slight appeal for LBW by Mukesh, but nothing doing.

Mukesh Choudhary to Naman Dhir, SIX! Picked and dumped in the stands! Fuller on the leg stump line, Naman Dhir clears the front leg, and uses his wrists to whip it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a cracking six. 50 UP FOR MUMBAI INDIANS!

Mukesh Choudhary to Naman Dhir, Full and a bit of outswing on off, Naman Dhir presses in front and drives it crisply but finds mid off in the way.

Ryan Rickelton is on a rampage right now and MI have hit 6 sixes in the last 3 overs. Mukesh Choudhary switches ends now.

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX MORE! Rickelton on the charge for MI! Another bit of loosener from Veer. This is full in front of the sticks, Ryan Rickelton picks the length early and slogs it comfortably once again over the long on fence for half a dozen runs. 18 runs from Prashant's first.

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! Goes all the way! Drops it full and on middle, into the slot. Ryan Rickelton gets down on a knee and slogs it cleanly over long on for a six. Fourth six already for Ryan Rickelton.

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, Drifts it across the batter, full outside off. Ryan Rickelton leans on and carves it straight to mid off.

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, Around the stump, too full, on off. Rickelton shovels it back to the bowler.

Assuming there will be a bowling change from this end. Yes. Spin has been deployed inside the restrictions. Here's Prashant Veer into the attack, replacing Mukesh Choudhary.

Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, Hard length, wider outside off, eased away towards deep point for a single.

Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, Wow, Rickelton was gone for all the money there, but Kamboj has hurried the throw here. This is bowled fairly full and wide outside off. Rickelton reaches out and jams it into the deck. The ball goes barely into the off side and Rickelton is off for the single. He realizes there's no chance of a single and turns back but Kamboj gets to the ball quickly and Rickelton gives up. However, Kamboj fails to get the direct hit in and Rickelton is able to jog back into his crease.

Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, Pitched fuller and just outside off, using the natural angle to get it away from the left-hander. Rickelton looks to slog it over wide long on but is well beaten.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, Good length again, this time in the channel. Dhir stays leg side of the ball and punches it with an open bat face to deep point and collects a single.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, SIX! Slammed away deep into the stands. A length ball, around the top of the middle stump. Naman Dhir stays compact and hits through the line, launching it over long on for a biggie.

Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, Hard length, slanted across off, hit away past point for a single by Rickelton.

A very profitable over for MI. Rickelton showed a bit of positive intent that takes Mumbai's run rate above run-a-ball. Kamboj to continue. 

Mukesh Choudhary to Naman Dhir, A skiddy short ball over middle and leg, Dhir gets hurried into the pull but manages to hit it away in front of square on the leg side and picks up a couple of runs in the deep.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Banged into the pitch, slightly short and wide. Rickelton gets on his toes and pats it down behind point for a run.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Oh, a bit of hesitation between the batters now. Good length around off, tapped away towards Noor Ahmad at cover. Rickelton sets off for the single, but Naman Dhir rightly sends him back.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! Back-to-back from Rickelton! Dug in short over off and middle, Rickelton is waiting for it and lays into the pull shot as he whacks it high over deep mid-wicket for another biggie.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! That's a fine shot. Fuller delivery, shapes away from around off. Ryan Rickelton backs away a bit leg side, waits for the swing and then hits it up and over covers for the first six of the game.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Another swing and a miss. A fraction shorter than a good length, shapes away from around off. Rickelton leans back to pull but misses.

Mukesh Choudhary to continue.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, Kamboj bowls a heavy length and hits the deck hard around off. Naman Dhir swings wildly at it, but the ball sails well over the blade. A wicket and 4 runs off the second over.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, This one swings late. Fullish length wide outside off, Dhir reaches out to drive, but the ball just nips back in off the deck and goes past the inside edge.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Oh, that's streaky. A yorker now, around middle stump. Naman Dhir is late to jam a straight bat at it and gets a thickish inside edge that runs down to long leg and rolls into the vacant fence.

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, A tad fuller now, in and around the off stump, Naman Dhir punches it to the cover fielder.

Kamboj strikes big in his first over and further increases his wicket tally this season. Naman Dhir walks in at number 3.

Anshul Kamboj to Will Jacks, OUT! CAUGHT! What a take from the debutant! Anshul Kamboj bashes the good length and bowls it around the top of off and middle. Will Jacks charges down the track again and looks to heave it leg side but ends up slicing it off the top edge. The ball sails over backward point and Ramakrishna Ghosh comes charging in from the deep. He dives forward to pouch it brilliantly with both hands. MI are 1/1.

Anshul Kamboj to Will Jacks, Pitched-up delivery, outside off, Jacks comes down the pitch and makes a bit of room but mistimes the shot straight to covers.

Superb start for Mukesh and CSK. Got the ball moving a bit and didn't gave any sort of room. Anshul Kamboj, CSK's leading wicket-taker so far, will bowl from the opposite end. A slip in place.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Excellent start from Mukesh, just a single off it. Good length again, in the channel and angling away, Rickelton looks to drive but ends up jamming it off the inner half of the blade and into the off side.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, On a good length, much straighter as well at 140.6 kph. Rickelton gets a bit squared up and defends it down in front of mid on.

Mukesh Choudhary to Ryan Rickelton, Nice shape again. Pitched up fuller on off, swings away from the left-hander. Ryan Rickelton plays it late and blocks it towards cover.

Mukesh Choudhary to Will Jacks, Jacks and Mumbai Indians are finally underway. Back of a length and outside off, steered away to the right of deep third for a single.

Mukesh Choudhary to Will Jacks, Now some swing on the fuller delivery. On the leg stump, shaping in, Jacks looks to flick but misses and wears it around the boot.
