MI vs CSK Preview: Mumbai Aiming for Revenge
Mumbai Indians will look to get back at their rivals Chennai Super Kings when they meet at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST. You can watch the game live on JioStar Network channels or stream it on JioHotstar.
How Both Teams Got Here
• Mumbai Indians lost four of their first five matches this season but have bounced back with two wins. In their last game at Wankhede, they kept Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162/5 and then chased the target with four wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.
• Chennai Super Kings had a rough start, losing five games in a row before finally winning their last match. They bowled Lucknow Super Giants out for 166/7 and then saw Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni put together an unbeaten 57‑run partnership off 28 balls to win with five wickets left. Dhoni scored 26 not out off 11 balls and was named Player of the Match.
Pitch and Conditions
So far this season, three games at Wankhede have seen an average first‑innings score of around 166. Two of those games were won by the team batting second. The pitch gives bowlers good swing early on, but batters can score freely once they settle.
Likely Teams
• Mumbai Indians (MI): Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Will Jacks, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma
• Impact Player: Rohit Sharma
• Chennai Super Kings (CSK): Shaik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
• Impact Player: Shivam Dube
Both teams will be eager to take momentum from this match—Mumbai to level the head‑to‑head, and Chennai to keep climbing out of the bottom of the table.
