Here is how Twitter reacted

The outstanding knocks from Ambati Rayudu (71) and Faf du Plessis (58 not out) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 opener against Mumbai Indians (MI) opened the account for Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Chasing 163, Super Kings started dreadfully as they lost both the openers, Shane Watson (4) and Murali Vijay (1) when the team’s score was just 6 runs. 🐻But🌼 then the pair of Rayudu and Du Plessis turned the table.

Both ♒Du Plessis and Rayudu stitched a crucial partnership of 115 runs to take the game away from Rohit Sharma-led side. Sam Curran with a quickfire 6-ball 18 run including two sixes did the damage in the 🧸later stage of the game.

CSK chased down the target in 19.2 overs with five wickets in h𒁃and.

This ONE's for you, FAMILY! 🦁💛

MI lost six wickets in the last 6 overs

Earlier, CSK restricted MI to a reachable total. In the last six overs of MI’s innings, the Super Kings bowling unit did a pretty impressive job. They conceded only 41 runs and picked up six wickets.

Albeit, opening batsman Quinton de Kock (33) took Mumbai to the flier, but Rohit (12) failed to impress as he clearly struggled against the quality leg-spin of Piyush Chawla, who dismissed him in the fifth over of the gam🐓e.

The surprise pick Saurabh Tiwary (42) contributed the maximum for MI. He added small partnerships with Surya Kumar Yadav (17) and Hardik Pandya (14) in the middle overs. inform Kieron Pollard could only score 18 and in the end, MI 💯posted 162/9.

For CSK, Lungi Ngidi picked three wickets while Deepak Chahar and Ravindra Jadeja bagged two scalps each. Curran and C♔hawla claimed one wicket apiece.

Great start to the IPL. Looks like it's going to be a cracker of a tournament.
Rayudu and Du plessis were brilliant but Sam Curran's cameo in the end was the difference.

Dhoni didn't even make a run but it was all about his team's resilience. Faf deservedly finished the match. Well done

MI are not getting overs from spin that CSKꦰ got from the wily Chawla. And how good has Rayudu garu been so far.

Excellent run-chase: R⭕ayudu was brilliant & Faf du Plessis was excepti⛦onal: in the field first & then taking CSK through
