MI vs CSK, IPL 2025: Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians face MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday evening.
MI vs CSK, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025: Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will face off in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 20. Both teams, which initially struggled for consistency in the tournament, have now found their winning form. The Mumbai Indians have emerged victorious in their last two matches, defeating the previously unbeaten Delhi Capitals and the hard-hitting Sunrisers Hyderabad.
On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings ended their losing streak of five matches by defeating the Lucknow Super Giants in their last outing.
While CSK's batting has been a weak point in the tournament, the recent partnership of MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube successfully chased down 167 runs against LSG. With the addition of Dewald Brevis to their squad in place of Gurjapneet Singh, CSK may look to utilize his skills immediately. On the bowling front, CSK has seen strong performances from Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed.
The Mumbai Indians boast a formidable batting lineup, featuring the talents of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya. Their bowling attack is equally impressive, with Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, and powerplay specialist Trent Boult leading the charge.
Rohit Sharma hits a six off a full toss, but it's a fair delivery after review. Suryakumar also hits a six over covers. The partnership between them is impressive. Suryakumar finishes the match with a six down the ground. Mumbai Indians win by nine wickets.
CSK 176/5 (20)
MI 177/1 (15.4)
Rohit tries to hit the ball down the ground but it goes up in the air. Jadeja tries to catch it but misses. Surya fails to beat the fielder with a sweep shot but then hits a four over covers and a six with a sweep shot. He finishes with a single to deep cover.
Ravindra Jadeja bowls the first ball and there is an lbw appeal, but the replay shows it didn't hit the pad. Rohit then hits the third delivery to deep cover for a run. Rickelton tries a slog sweep on the next ball but is caught by the fielder at deep midwicket.
Overton bowled back-to-back wides before delivering a ball at the off-stump line which Rohit defended. On the fifth ball, Rohit hit a six with a pull shot behind square. He then opened the bat face and hit the ball wide of short third man for one run.
Khaleel Ahmed bowls the first over to Rickelton. The first ball is defended, the second ball is a cover drive for a couple of runs. Rickelton hits a four off a wide delivery, then another four off a length ball. The fifth ball is an inside edge that goes towards first slip.
In the final over bowled by Boult, Jadeja hits a six over midwicket, then a four past short fine leg, reaching his fifty. He takes a single off the fifth ball and another single off the last ball, scoring a total of 16 runs in the over.
Jadeja hit a low full toss towards midwicket, resulting in a misfield that sent the ball towards the boundary for four runs. Dhoni was caught out after hitting a low full toss straight to deep square leg, scoring only four runs off six balls.
Mhatre hits a four on the first ball, misses on the second, gets beaten by a yorker on the third, and misses a chance to get out on the last ball of the previous over. He then hits another four on a slower delivery and the umpire calls a bouncer as a wide.
Rasheed faced a mix of slower deliveries and short balls from Chahar. He struggled to score initially but managed to get a few runs with a lucky inside edge past the fielder. The first boundary of the innings came off a half tracker, with Rasheed charging down the pitch and pulling the ball through midwicket.
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ryan Rickelton(w), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashwani Kumar
Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Shaik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra, Ayush Mhatre, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni(w/c), Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
Hardik Pandya: We are gonna bowl first. It looks like a very good wicket. Same wicket we played against RCB. That gives us a chance to look at the wicket, identify our plans. It has a good covering of grass and will be a good batting wicket. Just executing our plans and keep doing what's working for us. That's exciting, we have not played to our potential and gives us an opportunity every game to play to our potential. The man behind me everyone knows how exciting when he comes, CSK v MI is always exciting. Same team.
MS Dhoni: We were looking to bowl first. The main reason is because dew has already started to set in. We are the bottom most team in the table, looking too far ahead will not help us, take one game at a time and keep pushing. We have to play bold cricket but at the same time the batters have to realise what your strengths are, same with the bowlers.
CSK has been dominating the contest since 2022, winning 5 out of 6 matches. They also won the first leg at Chepauk in the third match of the season. Since the IPL 2021 second leg, CSK has won six out of seven games against MI, including the last four in a row.
The pitch is expected to be favorable for Mumbai Indians, as it may suit their game plan. They deliberately chose a slower pitch against Sunrisers Hyderabad to restrict their aggressive batters, but face a different scenario with Chennai Super Kings who have less explosive batters. Bumrah will be important in controlling Rachin Ravindra, who had a good performance in the previous match. Rohit Sharma will be relied upon as the Impact Player for the team.
Chennai Super Kings Squad: Shaik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni(w/c), Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Sam Curran, Deepak Hooda, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shreyas Gopal, Devon Conway, Mukesh Choudhary, Nathan Ellis, Dewald Brevis, Andre Siddarth C, Vansh Bedi, Ayush Mhatre
Mumbai Indians Squad: Ryan Rickelton(w), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma, Corbin Bosch, Ashwani Kumar, Raj Bawa, Robin Minz, Reece Topley, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Krishnan Shrijith, Arjun Tendulkar, Bevon Jacobs, Satyanarayana Raju, Vignesh Puthur
