Deepak Chahar showcased a light-hearted side during Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 season opener against Chennai Super Kings. Despite the emotional reunion with his former franchise, Chahar attempted to sledge both Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni during the game. The playful banter included Chahar chirping at Jadeja and Dhoni, with Jadeja responding by swinging his bat and Dhoni playfully hitting Chahar after the match. Chennai emerged victorious, extending Mumbai’s streak of opening-game losses, with Noor Ahmad’s impressive bowling restricting Mumbai to 155-9. Chennai chased down the target with Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s contributions. The win sets Chennai up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru next, while Mumbai will face Gujarat Titans.
