Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the third game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). The game is scheduled to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (March 23).

The game will be the second game of Sunday’s double-header and is set to be played from 07:30 PM IST. Both the teams will be desperate to start the tournament on a good note after failing to make it to the playoffs last season.

CSK were the defending champions but could not finish in the top four. With seven wins, they finished at the fifth spot and failed to make it to the playoffs only because of their inferior net run-rate.

On the other hand, MI finished at the bottom of the points table after managing just four wins. The five-time champions will be desperate to turn things around this season as they eye their sixth title and first since 2020.
