Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians
The Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (Mi) in 2025. The Mumbai team will have to land in this match without their captain Hardik Pandya and veteran fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah, which can give him a tough challenge on the spin-friendly pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium. Mumbai Indians will miss Bumrah, who are still in the process of returning after recovering from injury. He is very less likely to play in his early matches. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya is banned for a match due to a slow over rate in the last league match of last season, due to which he will not be able to play in the match against Chennai. In such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav will be seen handling the captaincy of the team. Let’s know about the possible playing XI of both teams …
Talking about Chennai’s opening, the team captain Ruturaj Gaikwad can handle the responsibility of opening with Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand or one of the Devon Conway. In the middle order, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dubey, Deepak Hooda and Vijay Shankar will strengthen the batting order, while Dhoni and Jadeja will be seen playing an important role for the team in the death overs.
