CSK vs MI: Chennai Super Kings under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad are set to face off against Suryakumar Yadav's Mumbai Indians today at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
CSK vs MI, IPL 2025 Live Score Updates: Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai Super Kings take on Suryakumar Yadav's Mumbai Indians in Match No. 3 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai this Sunday. With Hardik out due to a one-match ban, Surya will be at the helm for the Mumbai Indians in this crucial match.
CSK, the five-time champions, reinforced their spin assault at last year's IPL mega auction by signing Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Shreyas Gopal, and Deepak Hooda, in addition to the experienced Ravindra Jadeja. These pre-season manoeuvres indicate that the spin-friendly conditions at MA Chidambaram Stadium will play an important role in their plan.
However, the Mumbai Indians will undoubtedly miss their top bowler, Bumrah. The right-arm pacer is still recovering from a back issue that sidelined him this season. His absence in the early rounds of the IPL forces MI to seek alternative options and methods, which may present a significant challenge to management.
Boult returns to bowl. Jadeja hits a FOUR over point, gets a couple, but great fielding by Puthur saves a boundary. Jadeja takes a risky single and then gets a run and a steer to end the over. Jadeja tries for an overthrow run but is sent back by Ravindra.
Boult bowled a full and wide delivery, which Ruturaj drove through extra covers for a boundary. Boult then bowled another full delivery, which Ruturaj hit through covers for another boundary. Ruturaj flicked the ball for two runs, then hit the fifth delivery for a single as there was now a sweeper cover. The over ended with Rachin taking a single.
Trent Boult bowls the first over for Mumbai Indians. Rachin hits a two on the first delivery. He clips the third delivery, which is miscued but still gets a run. Boult goes full to Tripathi, who drives it down the ground, but mid off makes a diving save to limit it to just one run.
Khaleel Ahmed got subbed out for Rahul Tripathi for the Super Kings. Chahar hit a six over deep midwicket and then took a single, bringing Raju on strike. Raju hit a single to deep midwicket. Chahar tried to review a wide call but it was deemed a dot ball. Chahar then hit a four to the boundary.
Noor bowled well, taking 4 wickets for 18 runs in four overs on his CSK debut. He got Naman out in the first ball of the over by bowling around his legs. Although he missed a hat-trick, Deepak Chahar managed to survive by driving towards cover. In the end, Santner managed to get some runs with two singles, but Noor finished strong with two dot balls.
R Ashwin bowled the fifth over. Jacks scored one run off the first ball, then Sky hit a four by playing an inside-out shot. The third ball was played by Sky through midwicket for another run. However, Jacks got out while trying to replicate Sky's shot. Tilak Varma then hit two consecutive fours, one over point and the other with a reverse sweep.
Nathan Ellis bowled the fourth over. Jacks hit a slower ball for one run. Sky hit a back-of-a-length ball for two runs. Sky then hit a quick single to mid off. Jacks hit a single to mid on. Sky hit a boundary by pulling the ball past mid on.
Sam Curran bowled the second over, with Rickelton hitting two fours - one off his toes and another straight down the ground. Curran tried some outswing but Rickelton continued to dominate, hitting another four. Jacks also scored a four off a length ball.
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton(w), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Satyanarayana Raju
Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, MS Dhoni(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Nathan Ellis, Khaleel Ahmed
Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are bowling first. Playing on this pitch for the first time, so don't really know how it will play. So we just want to adapt and chase accordingly. Looks a good wicket to bat. Prep has been good. We had our young wicket-keeper coming back early to the camp. Noor, Ellis, Rachin and Sam Curran are the overseas.
Suryakumar Yadav: I am good with batting first. We had a lovely camp back home, we were here 2-3 days before. Both are unbelievable franchises in terms of achievements. I am sure it will be a good game. Rickleton, Jacks, Santner and Boult are the four overseas.
On the day of the match in Chennai, there may be thunderstorms but they are expected to clear before the match starts. There could be a delayed start due to wet grounds from earlier rain, but a complete cancellation is unlikely. The game is expected to be played in warm weather with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius.
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Devon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (WK), Sam Curran, R Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Raj Angad Bawa, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, Arjun Tendulkar
Chepauk Stadium in Chennai is known for its spin-friendly pitches, which benefit the Chennai Super Kings. As matches go on, the pitch slows down, making spin bowling more effective. Dew can change the pitch's behavior later in matches, impacting batting and bowling strategies. Teams need to adjust their tactics to counter the spin-friendly conditions and dew factor, especially in evening games.
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni(w), Sam Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Nathan Ellis, Mukesh Choudhary, Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed, Jamie Overton, Shaik Rasheed, Anshul Kamboj, Shreyas Gopal, Noor Ahmad, Gurjapneet Singh, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Andre Siddarth C, Vansh Bedi.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Ryan Rickelton,Robin Minz(w), Mitchell Santner, Jasprit Bumrah, Reece Topley, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Krishnan Shrijith, Karn Sharma, Corbin Bosch, Raj Bawa, Arjun Tendulkar, Bevon Jacobs, Ashwani Kumar, Satyanarayana Raju, Vignesh Puthur
The El Clasico match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will be held early this summer at Chepauk. Key players like Thala, Hitman, and SKY will be returning to the field. Despite some Mumbai Indians players missing, they have a history of performing well at CSK's home ground, Anbu Den.
