Ravindra leads CSK to victory over Mumbai
Rachin Ravindra's patient half-century led Chennai Super Kings to a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Chasing 156 to win on a spin-friendly surface, Ravindra finished unbeaten on 65 from 45 balls as Chennai reached their target with five balls to spare.
Chennai captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's more destructive 53 from 26 balls broke the back of the chase early on before a slight wobble to 116-5.
But Ravindra held the innings together comfortably, hitting the winning runs with a six off his New Zealand team-mate Mitchell Santner.
Wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur was the pick of Mumbai's bowlers with 3-32, while England's Will Jacks bowled his international and Surrey team-mate Sam Curran for four.
Mumbai posted a stuttering innings of 155-9 as they struggled to recover from an early slip to 36-3, with captain Suryakumar Yadav making 29 and Tilak Varma adding 31 but none of their batters were able to accelerate.
Afghanistan leg-spinner Noor Ahmad starred with 4-18, while seamer Khaleel Ahmed took 3-29 including the wicket of India's Rohit Sharma for a duck in the first over.
