Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings will begin their IPL 2025 campaign against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Sunday. CSK had failed to qualify for the playoffs in the previous season, which is rare and they would look to come up with their best.
This could well be MS Dhoni’s swansong season in the IPL and he would look to retire on a high. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad had led from the front in the previous season, scoring 583 runs in 14 matches at an average of 53 and he would look to replicate the same show.
