MI vs CSK over the years (2008-2024)

MS Dhoni’s CSK defeated Sachin Tendulkar’s MI in many of the encounters, including the IPL 2010 final, where both teams played an exciting encounter, and CSK also defeated MI in that match, conquering their first IPL title by defeating their toughest rival.

Later on, things changed when Rohit Sharma stepped in as the new captain of the Mumbai Indians, and since then, MI has been taking revenge on CSK as Rohit’s MI Paltan defeated CSK’s daddy army in three finals: 2013, 2015, and 2019. In addition, MI dominated many of the knockout matches versus CSK during these eras and did not allow CSK a chance to win at least one title between 2013 and 2017, although MI won four titles during that time, and later on, they have won one more title in the year 2020.

However, CSK made their comeback in the year 2018 after a two-year ban and announced themselves at the biggest league in the cricketing world by winning the third IPL title in the year 2018. Since then, CSK has won a total of three IPL titles (2018, 2020, 2021) equaling their toughest rivals Mumbai Indians trophy tally of five.

In this rivalry between MI and CSK, both teams produced excellent cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, DJ Bravo, and R Ashwin. Where these athletes put their best efforts for their franchise and provided many great moments for their fans and team members with their batting and bowling abilities.

Key Highlights

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings played their first match on April 23, 2008, at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where CSK defeated MI by 6 runs, while in their most recent encounter on April 14, 2024, CSK dominated MI and won the match by 20 runs.

Memorable Moments

MI and CSK are the only two teams in IPL history to have won the most IPL titles, with MI winning these coveted IPL trophies in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, all under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, demonstrating that these are memorable events for MI fans and players.

On the other hand, CSK has won the IPL title in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023, all under MS Dhoni’s captaincy, making these unforgettable occasions for both CSK fans and players.

Venue Analysis

The Mumbai Indians will play their home games at the Wankhede Stadium, where the pitch will favor both batters and spinners because the dimensions of the ground are around 55 to 60 meters, which is small in comparison to the international level, and the red soil pitch will help batters play shots all around the ground because the ball will come up with even pace and bounce, which will also help pacers get extra pace, swing, and bounce with the new ball.

The Chennai Super Kings will play their home games at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, where the pitch will be heavily dominated by the spinners, as we have seen in previous IPL 2024 games played there. The wicket at this stadium will be dry and dusty, which will greatly help the spinners and undoubtedly cause problems for the batsmen. The boundary dimensions are roughly 60 to 70 meters long, which is a good length, neither too long nor too short—but this will be a low-scoring ground, meaning that we will witness a lot of exciting low-scoring games in the upcoming season.

Performance Trends

We cannot easily determine which team is winning this rivalry based on the head-to-head records between MI and CSK because both teams are playing at their best, with MI winning 21 games and CSK winning 18 in a total of 39 games against them. This clearly demonstrates the level of discipline and intensity at which both teams played and only displayed their best performances.

Additionally, if we consider the recent performance of both teams, MI and CSK both failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs in the previous season. MI played terribly and finished the season with just 8 points, while CSK was eliminated at the last moment by RCB and finished at 5th position.

Conclusion: MI and CSK are the two most successful teams in IPL history.

As both MI and CSK have won the joint most five titles in the world’s most difficult cricket league, it demonstrates their level of cricket on the field, their resilience that they demonstrated consistently in each season of the IPL, and their discipline, all of which combine to form the perfect teams like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

Their head-to-head record also showed how strongly both teams are put on their best performance against each other, as both teams make the best strategies as well as find the best new talents each season from every corner of the country, which proved why these two teams are the best and in their rivalry.

No one is the best than the other, both are at the same level, both are at their top position as they have already proven us five times by winning the IPL titles, Therefore, it is pointless to compare the two teams that are considered to be the best in the game because each of them is exceptional and flawless in their own manner.
