Mumbai Indians Win IPL Opener
Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 24 runs in the IPL 2026 opener at the Wankhede.
A packed Wankhede crowd watched Mumbai Indians chase down 187 with two overs to spare. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 76 off 38 balls — the kind of innings IPL openers are built on.
Chennai’s bowling, missing Deepak Chahar, leaked runs at 9.35 per over. Jasprit Bumrah was on song with 3/27 to set up the chase.
