Meanwhile, MI had a tough start to their campaign as they suffered a four-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their season opener at Chepauk. Playing his first match for MI since 2021, Boult went wicketless, conceding 27 runs in three overs.

On a turning track, MI’s batting lineup struggled, failing to post a strong total. Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav, leading in Hardik Pandya’s absence, couldn't contribute significantly, while Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck. However, young spinner Vignesh Puthur picked up three wickets on his debut

.After their disappointing loss, MI took a detour to Jamnagar for bonding activities before departing for Ahmedabad for their upcoming clash against the Gujarat Titans. Pandya, who missed the opening game due to a slow-over rate penalty from the previous season, is set to return for the upcoming clash. The team is hopeful about star speedster Jasprit Bumrah’s return, with MI’s bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirming that his rehabilitation is progressing well at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
