In a high-profile clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday March 23.
Expectations are always high from CSK and MI. After all, both these teams have dominated the league for years, with both winning five titles each. These numbers look even more impressive considering there have been only seven seasons when the title went to cities other than Mumbai and Chennai. Check which team has most wins in IPL.
However, there will be even more pressure this season after a disappointing IPL 2024 when both these teams missed out on the playoffs. Mumbai were even more trouble if you consider that they finished at the rock bottom, having won just four times in 14 matches. This is not the return we expect from a team of Mumbai’s stature.
