IPL 2025, CSK vs MI: Two juggernauts are about to collide in an IPL 2025 match in the Chepauk stadium. Both teams, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, have restructured their squads to set their tone. Last year CSK and MI were far away from winning the IPL title as both of the teams found it difficult to perform on the field in a consistent manner. In a previous article, we have discussed the probable playing XI of Chennai Super Kings against the Mumbai Indians. Now, in this article, we’ll discuss how Mumbai Indians can set their team against the home team CSK.
Hardik Pandya, regular captain for the Mumbai Indians, will not be available for the match due to suspension—Surya Kumar Yadav will lead the team. There is a high chance that MI management can ask Ryan Rickelton to open the innings with Rohit Sharma. Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Naman Dhir, and Robin Minz can be the faces for MI in the middle game. While Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Karn Sharma, and Trent Boult, and Reece Topley can be in the playing XI as spinners and pacers, respectively.
