Pre-Match Analysis:

Chennai Super Kings doesn’t get better than this as they kick start their IPL 2025 campaign at home against Mumbai Indians. They didn’t have the greatest of auctions last year having let go of their trump card Deepak Chahar, however, they were able to bring back Ravichandran Ashwin into the setup after 10 long years. The spin department is where they hold the majority of the control that features Noor Ahmad, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shreyas Gopal. The pace attack looks decent with the inclusion of Khaleel Ahmed, Nathan Ellis, Jamie Overton, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, and Gurjapneet Singh which already has Matheesha Pathirana. They have bolstered their batting unit having picked up experienced Indian batters such as Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda, and Rahul Tripathi.

Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, and Shivam Dube will likely form their top 5, whereas MS Dhoni to bat at No.8 and will don the gloves behind the stumps. It will be interesting where Sam Curran fits in.

Termed as slow starters, Mumbai Indians will face a tricky challenge upfront as they face Chennai Super Kings in their opener on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav will take up the captaincy responsibilities in the place of Hardik Pandya. Having already missed the services of Jasprit Bumrah for the first few matches, the absence of Hardik Pandya could cause a problem. The batting line-up looks kind of new with the arrival of newcomers Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks. They will be mainly banking on their retained players Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav. Their bowling outfit has undergone a significant overhaul with the inclusion of Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Reece Topley, and Karn Sharma.

Among the uncapped players they have picked up watch out for Robin Minz, Raj Bawa, Vignesh Puthur, Satyanarayana Raju, Krishnan Shrijith, and Ashwani Kumar.
