Chennai vs Mumbai on March 23

 

The third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 features a thrilling encounter between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST. The match will be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai, a venue known for its spin-friendly conditions. Regular captain Hardik Pandya will miss this match due to a one-match suspension for a slow over-rate infraction from the previous season. In his absence, Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team. MI will also be without pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who is sidelined with a back injury. CSK will rely on their experienced leadership, with MS Dhoni captaining the side. They are expected to leverage their strong spin bowling resources, given the Chepauk pitch's characteristics. In their last ten encounters, CSK leads with six wins to MI's four, showcasing a competitive rivalry between the two franchises. Considering CSK's familiarity with the Chepauk conditions and their strong spin attack, they might have the upper hand. However, MI's depth and experience make them formidable opponents. This clash promises to be an exciting start to both teams' IPL 2025 campaigns.

Best economical pick – Deepak Chahar is known for his excellent control with the ball, especially in the powerplay. He can swing the ball early, which helps him pick wickets while maintaining a low economy rate. Chahar has consistently been one of the most economical bowlers in IPL, and his ability to bowl tight lines and lengths makes him a valuable asset in your fantasy team. With his skill to pick early wickets, he can provide you with wickets during the powerplay, giving you fantasy points for both wickets and economy.

Top captains & vice captains – Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in phenomenal form, especially as an opener. His ability to score quickly during powerplay overs makes him a key player for CSK. In IPL 2024, he amassed over 500 runs and was one of the highest run-scorers for CSK. As an opening batsman, Gaikwad has more time at the crease, giving him a greater opportunity to score runs. His aggressive style of play can lead to big fantasy points, particularly in the early overs. Suryakumar Yadav is known for his ability to hit big runs, especially in the middle order. His aggressive batting style can turn games in MI’s favor quickly. Suryakumar had an outstanding IPL 2024 season with over 600 runs, and his ability to accelerate during middle and death overs makes him a key player for MI. His power-hitting capabilities, along with the potential to bat deep, offer an excellent opportunity for high fantasy points.

Smart pick – Ravindra Jadeja is a complete package. As an all-rounder, he can contribute with both bat and ball, especially in spin-friendly conditions like Chepauk. He has been a match-winner for CSK in many IPL seasons and can turn the game with his sharp bowling and power-hitting. 

Cautious Pick – Tilak Varma is a promising middle-order batsman for MI. While he's a talented player, his role in the middle order makes him somewhat dependent on the top-order for a solid foundation. This can be risky in terms of fantasy points if he doesn't get enough time at the crease.

My XI – Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav (Vice-Captain), Deepak Chahar, Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, R Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, Trent Boult, Sam Curran, Shivam Dube
