On the other hand, in the second match of the day, there is a competition between Mumbai Indians (Mi) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The match will start at 7:30 pm at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rituraj Gaikwad will captain Chennai. At the same time, the command of Mumbai Indians will be in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav due to the ban on Hardik Pandya.

Hardik Pandya, a captain of Mumbai Indians, was banned for the third time in the last IPL season for a slow over speed violation. Hardik will not be able to play the first match of the 2025 phase against Chennai Super Kings due to this ban.
