As the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians squared off in IPL 2025 Match No. 3 on Sunday, an epic banter between Dhoni and Chahar unfolded.

Following Ishan Kishan's match-winning ton against Rajasthan Royals (RR), the wicketkeeper-batter's childhood coach Uttam Mazumdar expressed happiness at his pupil's knock and expressed hope that this knock will pave way for better performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and his return to the Indian team. A fine century by Ishan on his debut in Orange along with a half-century from opener Travis Head powered Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to 286/6 against RR at their home ground of Uppal Stadium on Sunday, and Men in Orange continued from where they started last season, falling just two runs short of two runs of breaking their record of highest team total in IPL history. RR could make only 242/6 and lost the match by 44 runs. Kishan took home the 'Player of the Match' award.
MS Dhoni oozed class as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) got IPL 2025 underway with a win against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 'El Clasico' of the tournament. While Dhoni came out to bat only at the very end of CSK's run chase - and did not score a run - it was work behind the stumps that left fans and even his teammates in awe. One such moment came in the 18th over, when Dhoni suggested CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to take a DRS review to dismiss Mitchell Santner. As it turned out, Dhoni's judgment was spot on.
