IPL 2025: CSK Face MI in High-Stakes Clash at Chepauk
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in a highly anticipated IPL 2025 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Ruturaj Gaikwad leads CSK this season, while Suryakumar Yadav will captain MI in this match, with regular skipper Hardik Pandya serving a one-match ban.
CSK, five-time IPL champions, have strengthened their spin attack, bringing in Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Shreyas Gopal, and Deepak Hooda to join Ravindra Jadeja. The franchise's strategic additions reflect their plan to exploit the spin-friendly conditions in Chennai. This game also marks a homecoming for MS Dhoni and Ashwin, adding to the excitement for CSK fans.
On the other hand, MI will have to cope with the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who remains on the sidelines due to a back injury. His unavailability leaves a significant void in MI’s death bowling, forcing the team to explore alternative options.
Both teams, tied with five IPL titles each, will be eager to assert dominance early in the tournament. While CSK looks to capitalize on spin, MI’s powerful batting lineup will aim to counter the conditions, setting the stage for an electrifying contest.
