Delhi: In the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, on Sunday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made a winning debut of the 18th season by defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 4 wickets. At the same time, this trend continued for Mumbai and she failed to win her opening match for the 13th consecutive year. However, in this match, Mumbai’s young spinner Vignesh Puthur caught everyone’s attention with his performance.
In this match played at Chepock’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, Vignesh made an IPL debut for Mumbai Indians. He was included in the team as an impact player in place of Rohit Sharma and he also left a big impact from his bowling. Puthur increased the difficulties by implicating the middle order of Chennai Super Kings in his spin.
This left -handed ‘Chinaman’ bowler from Kerala took 3 wickets for 32 runs in his 4 -over spell. He first sent the pavilion to the pavilion of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of the yellow jersey team, who scored 53 runs in 26 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. Subsequently, Puthur also dismissed Shivam Dubey (9) and Deepak Hooda (3) and made Chennai’s run chase difficult.
