CSK opted to field first after winning the toss.
MS Dhoni effected his 43rd stumping in IPL, whipping off the bails within a blink of an eye to get rid of the Mumbai Indians stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav during Match 3 of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, March 23.
It was the third delivery of the 11th over when the 43-year-old gave a display of his sensational reflexes to get rid of Suryakumar, who was batting on 29. Suryakumar completely missed the delivery bowled by Noor Ahmad which turned away from him. In an attempt to drive the ball down the ground, he ended up missing the ball by a big margin, resulting in his dismissal.
