IPL 2025: Predicting MI’s playing XI for their clash against CSK

The Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will square off in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match 38 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI has returned to winning ways after a dismal start to the season as the team attempts to turn things around. 

Hardik Pandya wants his team to finish in the top four as the IPL competition gets underway. MI has three victories and four losses in seven games. Fans will find the match against CSK intriguing because both teams have played in memorable IPL games.

Top Order:

Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma will be the openers for MI. Ryan Rickelton started attacking the bowlers from the start of the first ball and he will hope to do the same thing against CSK. While Rohit Sharma is finding rhythm with the bat. In the last game against SRH he smashed 22 runs which included 3 sixes to Pat Cummins. Coming to bat down the order Will Jacks provide strength and give pace to batting. 

Middle Order:

Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya strengthened the middle order of Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians will require these three players to score more runs as they fight for playoffs. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma can work to give the batting lineup stability while Hardik Pandya can hold the other hand and start hitting. 

Lower-Middle Order:

Naman Dhir and Mitchell Santner can provide some batting help to the team. They can bat in the middle for some time and put on some cameos with the bat which can help the team in getting runs. Mitchell Santner is an excellent all rounder. He has picked up three wickets in IPL 2025. 

Lower Order:

Mumbai Indians have one of the top bowling attacks in the league. MI’s bowling is dominated by players like Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and Jasprit Bumrah, the opposition batsman is afraid to face them.  With a new ball, MI’s bowling attack was opened by Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar.  Later on, Jasprit Bumrah provides help in capturing important wickets.

Impact Player: Even at age 37, Karn Sharma is helping the team to get breakthroughs. His bowling against DC helped MI to win the game as he picked three wickets.
