The recent IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) saw a playful moment between MI captain Hardik Pandya and team owner Akash Ambani. Following their match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Pandya surprised Ambani with the robot-dog ‘Champak’, creating a light-hearted moment.
In the match, CSK batted first and posted a total of 176/5 in their 20 overs, with Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja being the standout performers. In response, MI’s Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav showcased a superb batting display, with a partnership of 114 runs for the second wicket. Rohit’s unbeaten 76 off 45 balls and Suryakumar’s 68* off 30 balls guided MI to a comfortable nine-wicket victory.
After the match, Pandya was seen controlling ‘Champak’ next to Ambani, leading to a funny moment when the robot-dog startled Ambani. The video of this incident has been circulating among fans.
In a post-match interview, Pandya reflected on MI’s performance, attributing their success to playing simple cricket and sticking to their plans. With three consecutive wins, MI has climbed to sixth place on the points table with eight points from as many matches.
Looking ahead, MI will face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their next match on April 23 in Hyderabad. The team will aim to continue their winning streak and climb further up the points table.
