CSK Vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: MS Dhoni Set To Play Against Mumbai Indians At Chepauk Tonight

CSK vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings are taking on arch-rivals Mumbai Indians today in a high-voltage IPL 2026 match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The second Clasico of the ongoing IPL 2026 season at CSK’s home ground is a must-win for Mumbai Indians because a defeat today will knock Hardik Pandya’s men out of the playoffs race. MI suffered a humiliating defeat by 103 runs against MS Dhoni-less CSK at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 23, and they will be eager to settle the scores today to also keep themselves alive in the title race.

Legendary Indian wicketkeeper-batter and former CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a doubtful starter for today’s match as well, along with MI opener and former captain Rohit Sharma. Although both players trained on the eve of the match, their participation remains uncertain.
