CHENNAI, Mar 24: Afghanistan mystery spinner Noor Ahmad excelled on his Chennai Super Kings debut before skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad stuck a sublime fifty to set up a four-wicket win over their biggest rival Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday.
Ahmad's four-wicket haul limited Mumbai Indians to a below-par 155/9 after the hosts put them in to bat on a slow surface.
Gaikwad, batting at number three instead of opening alongside Rachin Ravindra, smashed 53 off 26 balls before the latter took over to ensure CSK got over the line in 19.1 overs. Ravindra remained unbeaten on 65 off 45 balls.
