Indian Premier League (IPL) fans are in for a treat as the upcoming season - IPL 2025 opens with high-voltage fixtures in the first week, including the El Clasico of the lucrative T20 tournament - Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will open their IPL season 18 campaign against long-time rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) on the first double-header Sunday (March 23) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The joint record title holders clash garners a lot more attention, leading to more interest among fans to witness the contest live from the venue in Chepauk or the Wankhede. Over the years, we have seen these two sides lock horns in some thrillers, and this year the expectation will be similar.
Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni was at the centre of this rivalry, which is expected to continue with new leaders at the helm. While Ruturaj Gaikwad leads CSK, MI will need a stand-in skipper to lead their team as regular captain Hardik Pandya will miss the match as he serves a one-match ban.
