CSK vs MI Live Score: The match concludes with a six, but it is Ravindra who secures the victory, not Dhoni. The Kiwi opener has delivered an extraordinary performance, seamlessly transferring his impressive form from international cricket to the IPL. Young Vignesh Puthur shares a delightful moment with Dhoni, receiving a pat on the back and a few encouraging words from the veteran. This match turned out to be far more thrilling than initially anticipated. Ultimately, Ravindra's outstanding form is a significant boost for CSK, while it appears that Devon Conway may find it challenging to secure a spot in the lineup for the foreseeable future.

CSK vs MI Live Score: One would hardly suspect that a CSK wicket has fallen, given the deafening roar from the crowd following that run-out. Jadeja flicks the fourth ball of the 19th over from Dhir to midwicket and sprints down the pitch. However, Ravindra declined the run, leaving Jadeja too far down the crease, prompting a review to determine who was out. The CSK supporters remain unfazed; the match is in their favour, and they are eager to see Thala bat.

CSK vs MI Live Score: Puthur sends the third ball of the 18th over into the stands. What an impressive inning this has been from the Kiwi. He maintained his composure amidst the turmoil at the other end, reaching his half-century in just 42 balls. Following two singles, Ravindra concludes the over with yet another six.

He stands at 59 runs off 44 balls, while Jadeja has 15 runs from 14 balls.

CSK requires six runs to win with 12 balls remaining.

CSK vs MI Live Score: Typically, this would be a straightforward task in a T20 match, but today is different. CSK has lost wickets in quick succession over the last few overs. Nevertheless, they have two seasoned batsmen at the crease in Ravindra and Jadeja, who should be capable of guiding the team to victory. Trent Boult is set to bowl the 17th over now.

Indeed, CSK has both Ravindra and Jadeja at the crease. Ravindra Jadeja and Rachin Ravindra—a perfect pairing for those who appreciate verbal symmetry.

CSK vs MI Live Score: What is happening with CSK! Curran swings wildly at his first delivery and completely misses, resulting in the stumps being disturbed. CSK is currently squandering their chances.

Curran b Jacks 4 (9)

CSK 116/5 in 14 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: It should be a simple task, yet a mix of excellent bowling from Puthur and some poor shot choices have complicated matters for CSK. Naman Dhir has just completed his first over, while Jacks continues into his fourth. MI is clearly aiming to maximize their spin overs without exhausting Puthur's quota. Sam Curran is on strike, with Rachin Ravindra at the other end, having scored 40 off 35 balls.

CSK 116/4 in 14 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: We may need to start using phrases like "game-changing spell" to describe the current situation. A remarkable catch by S Raju in the deep has shifted the momentum. Deepak Hooda connected well with the sweep, but a fielder was perfectly positioned. Raju had to sprint in and dive to secure the catch. CSK seemed to be in control, but has that now shifted?

CSK vs MI Live Score: Puthur is making a sensational IPL debut! He first claimed the wicket of Gaikwad and then took down the formidable Shivam Dube. Bowling full on off at approximately 80kph, Dube attempted a straight hit but was caught at the boundary by Tilak.

Dube c Tilak Varma b Puthur 9 (7)

CSK 95/3 in 9.4 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: The 24-year-old has achieved his first IPL wicket by dismissing Ruturaj Gaikwad. The delivery was perfectly placed for the CSK captain, who attempted a lofted straight drive, only for Jacks to catch it at the boundary. SKY congratulates the young bowler with a hearty embrace.

Gaikwad c Jacks b Puthur 53 (26)

CSK 78/2 in 7.5 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: And it has come in just 22 balls. He takes a single off the last ball of the seventh over bowled by Jacks. This partnership between Gaikwad and Ravindra needs to be broken as soon as possible for MI to even start hoping for a win in this match.

CSK 74/1 in 7 overs, need 82 to win from 78 balls

CSK vs MI Live Score: Gaikwad has taken Santner for a ride around the Chepauk.

CSK vs MI Live Score: Gaikwad starts off the third over by Boult with back to back fours. The first one is a lovely cover drive, the quick outfield does the rest. Then another nice drive through the covers for the second dour. The batters run two off the third ball and then two singles off the last two balls.

CSK 24/1 in 3 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Bounced out! He gets the fourth ball to angle into the batter, Tripathi swivels and gets a faint edge on the pull before it goes to the wicketkeeper.

CSK 11/1 in 1.4 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Rachin Ravindra opened his account with a double on the first ball while he is new opening partner Rahul Tripathi also off the mark with a single. A tidy over from Trent Boult as he also asked a tough question to Rachin Ravindra on the last ball. CSK 5/0 in 1 over

CSK vs MI Live Score: Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi are out in the middle to start the chase for Chennai Super Kings. Vignesh Puthur comes in as an Impact Substitute for Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma. Trent Boult has the ball in hand.

CSK vs MI Live Score: A big pop from the crowd as the BCCI has staged a light show for them in the innings break and a dancing crew is performing on CSK's team song ‘Whistle Podu’. We are just few minutes away from the chase.

CSK vs MI Live Score: Chennai Super Kings openers Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad have to the set stage in the powerplay for the other batters in the chase. Mumbai are 15-20 runs short on this surface but they have a quality bowling attack to exploit this pitch.

CSK vs MI Live Score: CSK have a target of 156 to chase.

CSK vs MI Live Score: CSK is pursuing a target of 156 runs.

CSK vs MI Live Score: The match is concluding rapidly. Santner fails to connect with a slower delivery from Ellis, which was short in length. The umpire initially rules it not out, but Dhoni requests a review for Gaikwad, leading to a decisive outcome. Ball tracking indicates the ball is hitting the top of the middle stump.

MI 128/8 in 18 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Noor Ahmad is now on the verge of a hat-trick. Naman Dhir has been bowled as the ball sneaks around his legs. Noor's first delivery of the 17th over was pitched outside leg, but Dhir missed the sweep, allowing the ball to turn in and hit the stumps. This marks an impressive debut for Noor.

Naman Dhir b Noor Ahmad 17 (12)

MI 118/7 in 16.1 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: MI has managed to set a decent score, but they are facing a challenge with only four wickets remaining. Their top batsmen have already been dismissed, leaving Naman Dhir at the crease alongside Mitchell Santner. Noor Ahmad is bowling in the 17th over now.

MI 118/6 in 16 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: This is a significant moment. Tilak Varma, who was a key player and perhaps MI's last chance, has been dismissed. He was trapped in front and opted for a review, likely out of desperation. There was no bat involved, and ball tracking confirms it was heading for the middle stump.

Tilak Varma lbw b Noor Ahmad 31 (25)

MI 96/6 in 13 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Minz attempts to hit a wrong 'un from Noor with a powerful shot down the ground. He makes contact but fails to achieve the necessary distance, allowing Jadeja to catch it at long off, likely frustrated that a fielder of his skill is having to take such straightforward catches.

Minz c Jadeja b Noor Ahmad 3 (9)

MI 95/5 in 12.4 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Mumbai Indians find themselves in a challenging situation. Robin Minz has come to the crease and successfully rotates the strike with a single off the third delivery from Ashwin. However, Tilak is unable to score from either of the last two balls. Currently, Tilak has 30 runs from 23 balls, while Minz has managed two runs off six deliveries.

MI 92/4 in 12 overs

CSK vs MI Live Score: Noor Ahmad makes an impact, marking his presence on the scorecard. Age is irrelevant when it comes to Dhoni's remarkable stumping skills, which continue to impress. Noor delivers the third ball of the 11th over, turning it away from Suryakumar Yadav, who charges down the pitch but completely misses the ball. In real-time, it is difficult to discern when Dhoni collected the ball and when he dislodged the bails. Time and tide are no match for MS Dhoni.

Suryakumar Yadav st Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 29 (26)

MI 87/4 in 10.3 overs

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Ashwin nearly has a chance for a catch off his own bowling on the fifth ball of the over.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: This situation is largely due to Curran's miscalculation, which allowed Tilak to score six runs off the fourth ball. Curran was positioned a few meters in at long off but had to retreat, only to see the ball crash into the advertising boards.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Finally, Suryakumar Yadav hits a six with a splendid shot, executing a perfect flick off the third ball of the sixth over from Khaleel that sails over square leg. However, only two runs follow in that over.

He is currently on 19 runs from 14 balls, while Tilak has eight runs from five balls.

Ashwin is set to bowl for the first time in his second stint with the Chennai Super Kings at his cherished Chepauk ground, with Jacks at the crease.

Mumbai Indians are currently at 30/2 after 4 overs.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Khaleel is certainly feeling the support from the crowd! Rickleton opened his account by cutting Khaleel's second delivery for four runs. He attempted another cut, which was similar to the first but slightly fuller, resulting in an inside edge that crashed into the stumps.

Rickelton b Khaleel 13 (7)

Mumbai Indians are at 21/1 after 2.2 overs.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Khaleel made a memorable entrance to the CSK fans by dismissing Rohit, while Rickleton began his MI career with a boundary. What a start! Rickleton greeted the first ball from Curran with a backfoot drive through midwicket for four. He followed this with another four on the third ball, driving straight down the ground. After getting off strike on the fifth ball, Will Jacks flicked the next delivery over long-on for yet another four.

Mumbai Indians are at 17/1 after 2 overs.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Khaleel made a mistake by bowling down the leg side on the last ball, and Will Jacks capitalized on it, flicking it through square leg for the first boundary of the match. What an impressive first over! Now, Sam Curran will bowl from the other end, with Rickleton facing.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Khaleel made a striking introduction to the CSK supporters with a length ball just under 140kph on the fourth delivery of the first over, which Rohit flicked directly into the hands of a fielder at midwicket. The crowd at Chepauk is ecstatic.

Rohit Sharma c Dube b Ahmed 0 (4)

Mumbai Indians are at 0/1 after 0.4 overs.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Khaleel Ahmed is making his debut for CSK as he bowls the opening over. Rohit Sharma is at the crease, with Rickleton positioned at the opposite end. The atmosphere at Chepauk is electric as Khaleel approaches the wicket.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: MS Dhoni remains composed as CSK gathers for a brief team huddle near the boundary before heading onto the field. Gaikwad is the first to advance as CSK prepares for the match. MI's new opening duo, Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton, also make their way to the pitch.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: The evening in Chennai is characteristically humid and breezy, with a clear black sky devoid of clouds. The boundaries measure 75 and 72 meters square from the Pavilion end, while the shorter boundaries are 59 meters. The distance between long-on and long-off falls within the 70-meter range.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Echoing the sentiments of a well-known Coldplay song, the scene at Chepauk today reflects a similar vibe. There are only a few patches of blue, but the predominant color is India blue, overshadowing the MI shades.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: The lineup for Mumbai Indians includes Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (w), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Satyanarayana Raju.

Impact substitutes: Vignesh Puthur, Ashwani Kumar, Raj Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Karn Sharma.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: The CSK team features Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, MS Dhoni (w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Nathan Ellis, and Khaleel Ahmed.

Impact substitutes: Rahul Tripathi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Vijay Shankar, Jamie Overton, Shaik Rasheed.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: He draws inspiration from Rohit Sharma, stating that losing the toss has not significantly impacted the outcome. "I am comfortable batting first. We had a great training camp back home and arrived here 2-

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: A significant number of fans are adorned in yellow, which is to be expected.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: With four victories and ten defeats, accumulating eight points from 14 matches, the Mumbai Indians had a dismal season last year, finishing at the bottom of the league standings. Hardik Pandya was appointed as the new captain, yet there was little clarification regarding Rohit Sharma's removal from that role. Additionally, there was no attempt to address the rumours surrounding Pandya's contract. Consequently, the season unfolded with their new captain facing widespread criticism, particularly at home.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: It raises the question of whether the CSK management regrets parting ways with Mitchell Santner, given his impressive form with the ball since the mega auction. Furthermore, Santner has joined MI, and if he plays today, his debut for the franchise will be against CSK. On paper, CSK appears equipped to handle any challenges Santner may present, especially if the pitch is dry, as they feature four left-handed batsmen in their top six.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Although Dhoni only accumulated 161 runs last season, this figure does not fully capture his contributions. He primarily batted below No. 7, often coming in as a lower-order batsman or to play in the final over when necessary. Thus, those 161 runs were scored over 11 innings, boasting a strike rate of 220.54 and an average of 53.66.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Clearly, on paper, CSK holds the advantage heading into this match. MI is without two key players, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, while CSK has no injuries or suspensions affecting their squad.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: As previously mentioned, Hardik Pandya is unable to participate in this match due to a suspension stemming from an outdated regulation. Both Pandya, leading the Mumbai Indians, and Rishabh Pant, captain of the Delhi Capitals, received a one-match suspension for their teams' third over-rate infraction. While Pant served his suspension last season, Pandya is fulfilling his in today’s match. However, starting this season, no other captain will face such penalties, as the revised playing conditions now impose demerit points on teams for over-rate violations.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: During the pre-match press conference, Suryakumar Yadav was questioned about his strategy to "manage" the "uncapped" player MS Dhoni. He responded, "Has anyone ever managed him over the years? It’s always thrilling to come to Chennai and see him emerge from the dressing room. We have learned so much from him and continue to do so. Whenever we have the chance, we engage in discussions with him. I am genuinely looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow. However, I will be leading against him, which presents a good challenge."

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Ravichandran Ashwin has returned to the franchise where he first gained recognition. His contributions to CSK played a significant role in his ascent to the Indian national team and, eventually, to Test cricket, where he has secured his place among the all-time greats. Now back with CSK after retiring from Test cricket, Ashwin reflects on the cyclical nature of his journey.

"They say life is a circle. I played for them from 2008 to 2015, and I will always be grateful to them. The knowledge I gained at CSK has been instrumental in my international career. It has been a decade since I last played for CSK."

"The value of CSK acquiring me and the associated details are noteworthy. However, I feel a sense of nostalgia because CSK fought for me during the bidding process, just as they did in 2011. It brings back fond memories and is a truly special feeling."

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Ishan Kishan concludes his innings with an impressive 106 not out off 47 balls. Will he demonstrate this season that MI erred in letting him go? SRH falls just one run short of their own IPL record score of 287, now holding the top three highest scores in league history, with two achieved last season and one this year. The cricket has been thrilling, and RR must match that record to secure victory in this match.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad established a formidable opening partnership during their championship-winning season in 2023. However, Rachin Ravindra cannot be overlooked given his current exceptional form.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: Ishan Kishan, a long-time opener for MI until last season, has seamlessly integrated into the dynamic SRH batting order. He has scored 80 runs off 38 balls by the end of the 16th over, having entered the game at No. 3 in the fourth over to replace Abhishek Sharma, who had made 24 runs in just 11 balls. SRH has accumulated a solid 219 runs for the loss of three wickets as they approach the final four overs, with Heinrich Klaasen joining Kishan in the middle. Keep an eye on those scoring records.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: MI holds a 20-17 advantage in their head-to-head encounters, although this statistic can be somewhat misleading. CSK has triumphed in five of the last six matchups and has defeated MI in their last three consecutive games.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: This evening in Chennai is expected to be warm and humid, a typical climate for the city throughout the year. Notably, there are no concerns regarding rain, which will not be a factor. However, dew could play a role, although its impact has been somewhat mitigated by the new rule allowing the bowling team to change the ball, with the umpire's approval, if it becomes excessively wet.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: It is crucial to note that Jasprit Bumrah is expected to rejoin the Mumbai Indians squad by early April. He is currently recovering from a stress-related injury to his lower back, which he sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on January 4, specifically on the second day of the fifth Test.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: The Mumbai Indians, along with the Indian cricket community, are eager for Suryakumar Yadav to regain his form in the competitive environment of the IPL, a form that has been elusive since the 2024 T20 World Cup. His performance has seen him average 14.30 with a strike rate of only 120.77 across 13 T20 matches since the tour of South Africa last year.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: MS Dhoni has recorded an impressive strike rate of 203.85 since the Impact Player rule was implemented. He has batted after the 15th over in 23 of his last 24 innings. Aware that his reflexes are not what they were five years ago, Dhoni has nonetheless managed to remain a valuable asset to the team rather than merely a figurehead to attract fans.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: To begin with, the Mumbai Indians will be without their captain Hardik Pandya today due to a suspension stemming from a rule that is no longer in effect this season. More details on this will follow. Additionally, Jasprit Bumrah will not be available for at least the first half of the season.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Live Score: The Mumbai Indians' lineup includes Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Ryan Rickelton, Robin Minz (wicketkeeper), Mitchell Santner, Jasprit Bumrah, Reece Topley, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Krishnan Shrijith, Karn Sharma, Corbin Bosch, Raj Bawa, Arjun Tendulkar, Bevon Jacobs, Ashwani Kumar, Satyanarayana Raju, and Vignesh Puthur.
