IPL 2025: MI Eye Revenge, CSK Seek Resurgence In Blockbuster Clash
Hardik Pandya’s side, placed seventh on the table, have revived their campaign with back-to-back wins over Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their execution—especially with the ball—on the tricky Wankhede surface against the explosive SRH line-up was clinical, with the pitch offering unexpected turn and grip for spinners and aiding cutters from pacers. However, the same game plan may not work against a CSK side boasting a formidable spin contingent.
Ravindra Jadeja and the in-form Noor Ahmad—who picked three wickets against MI in the reverse fixture—will be key weapons for Chennai. The Afghan left-arm wrist spinner has already scalped 12 wickets in seven games, and MI must find a way past him to control the middle overs. CSK have also added Dewald Brevis and local youngster Ayush Mhatre to the squad, though their inclusion in the XI remains uncertain.
