Mumbai Indians (MI) will be eyeing a third straight win when they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 38th game of IPL 2025. The match is scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 20).
Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets in their last game to register their third win and second win in a row for the first time this season. With three wins from seven games, MI's chances of qualifying for the playoffs are hanging by a thread, and they need a strong display in the second half of the season to finish in the top four.
MI have also lost against CSK already this season and will be keen to avenge the loss. They have not defeated CSK since 2022 and will be desperate to end their winless run. As MI gears up for the game, we are taking a look at the Mumbai Indians' Playing 11.

In-form Tilak Varma scored an unbeaten 21 and remained till the end to ensure that MI crossed the finishing line comfortably. Naman Dhir did not have much to do with the bat as MI needed only 1 run to win when he came out to bat. He still managed to get out for a three ball duck.
