The match between the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings is scheduled for March 23. Both teams’ histories are extensive. The Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings each have five IPL trophy titles. Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have led the two teams in the Indian Premier League’s fiercest rivalry throughout the years. They both have now given responsibility to leaders of the current generation.
Hardik Pandya, MI’s captain, will not play since he is serving a one-match suspension for many slow overrate infractions from the 2024 Indian Premier League. Suryakumar Yadav will take his place. Last season, Ruturaj Gaikwad took over as captain of CSK, and he will remain in that role.
Ruturaj Gaikwad:

The way Gaikwad handles the captaincy after missing out on the playoffs the previous season will be interesting. His connection with Dhoni allows him to act freely and make bold decisions. Ruturaj’s batting has not been impacted by Dhoni’s presence. During IPL 2024, he finished as the tournament’s second-highest run scorer with 583 runs in 14 games at an average of 53.00 and a strike rate of 141.16, including a century and four fifties.
Suryakumar Yadav:

Since Hardik Pandya is not available for the first game of IPL 2025. Suryakumar Yadav is going to lead the team against Chennai Super Kings. Over the years Suryakumar Yadav has been Mumbai Indian’s key player and has helped the team to win matches with his batting skills. During IPL 2024, he scored 345 runs which includes a century. His batting style has always put pressure on bowlers. He will put the CSK bowling attack to the test with his propensity to play the big strokes against the pacers.
Rachin Ravindra:

Rachin Ravindra is heading into the TATA IPL 2025 with an incredible form. Rachin Ravindra made his IPL in 2024, debut by amassing 222 runs with a scorching strike rate of 160.86 in 10 games. Although Rachin hasn’t been able to score many runs, he has made early starts in the PowerPlay, and CSK will be hoping he can do the same against the Mumbai Indians.
