Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings: Playing XI | IPL 2025
In the next match of the season, Chennai Super Kings will face Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams, the five-time champions of the IPL, have struggled this season and faced consecutive defeats in the starting matches. In the previous encounter this season, Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai, registering their first win. Now, both teams will be looking to secure a win in the upcoming match amid the already challenging playoffs qualification scenario following their early losses. This article will discuss both teams’ playing XI and their performance so far this season.
In the season, Chennai Super Kings haven’t performed well so far, as the team has won only two of the seven matches played. Chennai started the season with a victory against Mumbai Indians in their first match, but then lost five consecutive matches—a rare record that very few would have expected from a franchise like CSK. The team also faced another blow as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad got ruled out of the season due to injury. The team is currently in last position on the points table, with 4 points from the seven matches played.
On the other hand, Mumbai also had a similar start with just one victory in the first five matches played. But now, the team appears to be returning to form with two consecutive victories in the last two matches against Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbai Indians is currently in 7th position in the points table with 6 points from the seven matches played.
