Get ready for a high-stakes IPL 2025 clash as Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians (MI) take on MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 38 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

A fresh chapter will be added to the storied “El Clasico” of the IPL as arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) meet again on Sunday, April 20, under the lights at Wankhede Stadium. While CSK edged past MI in a nail-biting last-over finish in the season opener, the tables have slightly turned since then. MI, despite an inconsistent run, sit above CSK on the points table with three wins from seven games.

CSK’s campaign has gone further downhill — with just two wins from as many games, their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. Mumbai aren’t flying high either, but they come into this match with hope. The trio of Bumrah, Suryakumar and Hardik has finally begun showing glimpses of their best.

MI vs CSK Dream11 Fantasy Team Picks

Wicketkeeper

• Ryan Rickelton (MI) –
  Has looked solid at the top. A big knock is due.

Batters

• Suryakumar Yadav (MI) – (C/VC)
  One of the most feared T20 batters. Loves batting at Wankhede.
• Tilak Varma (MI) –
  Strong against both spin and pace. Middle-order anchor with six-hitting range.

All-rounders

• Hardik Pandya (MI) – Can chip in with the ball and play the finisher’s role.
• Will Jacks (MI) – (C/VC)
  In great touch – contributes with both bat and ball.
• Shivam Dube (CSK) –
  Short boundaries and batting-friendly surface make him a real threat.
• Ravindra Jadeja (CSK)
  Brings control and depth with both disciplines.
• Rachin Ravindra (CSK) – (C/VC)
  Starred in the reverse fixture. Form player with all-round potential.

Bowlers

• Jasprit Bumrah (MI) –
  Slowly rediscovering his rhythm. Key bowler at the death.
• Noor Ahmad (CSK) –
  Took four wickets in the reverse fixture. Mystery spin can trouble MI’s middle-order.
• Khaleel Ahmed (CSK) –
  Effective new-ball option. Dismissed MI’s top-order cheaply last time.

Key Matchups

• Rachin Ravindra vs Bumrah – Ravindra took MI apart at Chepauk, but Bumrah will be keen to settle scores at home.
• Rohit Sharma vs Khaleel Ahmed – Khaleel has a good record against Rohit; the Powerplay battle could be decisive.
• Suryakumar vs Noor Ahmad – SKY’s unorthodox play vs Noor’s spin variations promises fireworks.

Captaincy Picks

• Suryakumar Yadav – A proven performer at Wankhede.
• Rachin Ravindra – In-form and integral to CSK’s top-order.
