MI vs CSK: ‘El Clasico’
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is set to face Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 3 of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. MI will be without their regular captain, Hardik Pandya, who is unavailable for the season opener. Suryakumar Yadav will take charge as captain for this game. Hardik’s absence follows his ban for repeated slow-over rate offences during IPL 2024, where MI failed to maintain the required over-rate in three out of 14 matches, including their final game against Lucknow Super Giants. Historically, MI lead CSK 20-17 in head-to-head IPL encounters.
