When is CSK vs MI Match: The biggest rivalry in the IPL, Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians, is set to resume this weekend. Fans are buzzing for this epic clash that will take place at the Wankhede.
CSK and MI are the two most successful franchises in IPL history, both teams having won five IPL trophies each. Earlier, CSK had stalled at three IPL trophies when MI raced to five titles until 2020. But MS Dhoni’s side rocked back by winning two of the last three IPL championships, and now both stand equal.
Both, though, are not close in the points table of IPL 2024 at the moment. CSK have won three out of their first five matches; MI started the tournament with three defeats in a row before recording their maiden win of the season. Both CSK and MI have new captains in Ruturaj Gaikwad and Hardik Pandya, respectively.

On Sunday, April 14th, MI will host CSK at the Wankhede Stadium. This is a night game; its scheduled start time is 7.30 p.m. IST.
Why is CSK vs MI called the El Clásico of IPL?
The CSK vs MI match is called the El Clásico of the IPL because it resembles Spanish football’s biggest club rivalry, which is between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Fans and broadcasters have been, for years, hyping up the CSK vs MI clashes, with them being the two most successful IPL franchises, as the El Clásico of IPL.
CSK vs MI Head-to-Head:
Chennai and Mumbai have faced off 36 times in the IPL. MI won 20 matches, and CSK emerged victorious in 16.
This season, though, there will be only one CSK vs MI match, unlike the minimum of two home and away matches until last year. They have clashed in an IPL final four times: CSK won in 2010; MI defeated CSK in the finals of 2013, 2015, and 2019.
Before hosting CSK, MI will be hosting on April 11. RCB and MI both sit in the bottom part of the points table. RCB has one win in five games, and MI has one win in four matches. The next two matches are crucial for MI regarding the playoff race.
