MI vs CSK Match Highlights: The Chennai Super Kings advanced to the Mumbai Indians home ground at the Wankhede Stadium. Last time these two teams met this season, the CSK side went on to secure a win.
CSK have won the last 4 games against the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, while under Hardik Pandya as the MI skipper, they are yet to win against the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
CSK are going through a bad patch this season, as they have lost 5 games in a row while winning only two games, one of which was against MI. They have lost their injured skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and youngster Ayush Mhatre replaced him in the squad, while Dewald Brevis has also been called in mid-season. They have a new playing 11, with the 17-year-old coming in as the new no. 3.
The Mumbai Indians also have lost 4 games already this season, with 3 wins in 7 games. MI has won two back-to-back games against Delhi Capitals and then Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bumrah is back in the 11 and is ready to avenge CSK on their home ground at Wankhede Stadium.

MI vs CSK Match Highlights: Shivam Dube’s 50 and Jadeja sent early take CSK to par score at Wankhede; Can they turn it around with the ball?
Chennai Super Kings underwent tough situations with the bat in recent times, and hence the 176 innings against the MI looked to be a very convincing total from the batting perspective. Ravindra got out in the fourth over of the powerplay to Ashwini Kumar; however, the pressure built in the early overs of the powerplay was released since then with the arrival of 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre. It has been a week for the youngsters in the IPL after Vaibhav Suryavanshi yesterday and Ayush Mhatre today at the Wankhede.
Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja handled CSK’s middle order well, as Jadeja was sent in at no. 4, and he finished with a 53* alongside Dube, who also contributed significantly with his first 50 of the season. Dhoni could not unleash his fireworks this time, being eventually dismissed by Bumrah in his last over, as he finished as the pick of the bowlers with 2/25 in his 4 overs. Santner was another star with the ball, 1/14 in his 3 overs, though to everyone’s surprise, he did not complete his quota of overs.
MI vs CSK Match Highlights: Rohit Sharma back in form? Yes or No – But a masterclass from Rohit-SKY takes Mumbai ahead with a win at Wankhede
Mumbai Indians have won some matches in a row, but what they lacked was a standout powerplay score, and they have got it this time with their most veteran batter returning to form. Rohit Sharma, for the first time, survived the powerplay and went on to score his first half-century of the season after a string of low scores.
Rohit, alongside Rickelton, put on a 63-run partnership for the first wicket after having a successful powerplay without the loss of any wickets. Though Rickelton could not go much past the powerplay, he eventually fell prey to Jadeja in the very next over after the powerplay ended.
Suryakumar Yadav came in to bat at no. 3, and the batter looked in the finest of his touch, as he, alongside the former skipper, went on to build their first 100-run partnership of the season for the Mumbai Indians. Sharma stood tall, finishing on a great 76*, while SKY finished the game in some style, smashing 65 runs in the last 4.3 overs. The MI vs CSK Match highlights seems a replay of the stunning shots from both these players.
