Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings
MI vs CSK Prediction
Being two of the most successful franchises in Indian Premier League MI vs CSK prediction is always an exciting one. Both teams have shared nine titles in the last fourteen seasons, which makes this CSK vs MI prediction quite a tough one.
IPL has iced the cake by adding two new teams to the existing competition and thus, enabling both CSK and MI to tighten their belts by spending copious amounts of money to build stronger squads this year.
Defending champions, Chennai Super Kings, are imaged as prominent retainers of their players since the inception of IPL and so have they done in this mega auction too.
Despite they couldn’t manage to get Faf du Plessis back in the team, they have voluminously spent from their pockets to bring back Deepak Chahar on board. Dwayne Bravo, Ambati Rayudu, and Robin Uthappa got one more opportunity to represent the yellow army this year.
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings share 9 of the 14 IPL titles so far since 2008.

CSK also strengthened the all-rounder’s arm by adding Shivam Dube with the duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali.
CSK’s arch-rivals, Mumbai Indians, broke their bank to get Ishan Kishan in the team who will keep the wickets in the absence of Quinton De Kock. Under-19 World Cup sensation, Dewald Brevis, will also represent MI this year.
In the absence of Hardik and Krunal Pandya, MI have focused on building a stronger all-rounder unit, and to do the job they have taken Tim David and Daniel Sams under their blue umbrella.
They have picked up Jofra Archer to set up a deadly fast bowling combination along with Jasprit Bumrah in the next few seasons.
A comparison between the two squads posts the mega auction puts CSK on the heavier side of the weighing balance due to the much experienced and promising players in the team than MI, which favors CSK in this MI vs CSK prediction.

Carrying forward this trend, MI stands a good chance to win the home ground matches against CSK, given that MI is set to play 11 matches at home this season. But on the flip side, with five matches being pulled off by CSK at Mumbai, it is unlikely to accurately clarify the CSK vs MI match prediction at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
One of the neutral venues in IPL for the two teams has been the UAE, where these two teams played in IPL 2020 and 2021. CSK dominated there with two wins in three matches against MI with the highest margin being a 20 runs defeat and Ruturaj Gaikwad being adjudged the Man of the Match for his scintillating performance of 88*(58).
MI have won 5 titles to date under their captain Rohit Sharma. MI won the 2015 IPL final against CSK, defending a total of 202 runs, which CSK lost by 41 runs. MI’s closest IPL final win against CSK was in 2019 when they defeated CSK by a mere 1 run thanks to the last-ball wicket by Lasith Malinga that helped MI lift the 4th title in IPL history.
The retained players of Chennai Super King include MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, and Ruturaj Gaikwad. MS Dhoni has scored the third-highest runs (646) in CSK vs MI matches only behind Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma.
Dhoni is expected to make an impact in the matches against MI. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, with 18 wickets against MI, is another key player for CSK. His consistent all-around performance will be an ace for CSK against MI in the IPL 2022.
Ruturaj Gaikwad will be another maestro player for CSK against MI as he plummeted 88*(58) vs MI in IPL 2021 held at Dubai International Fun88 Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and took the team forward when they were reeling at 24/4.
MI have retained Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, and Suryakumar Yadav. Rohit Sharma is the second-highest run-scorer (693) only behind Suresh Raina in the head to head matches against CSK.
Kieron Pollard is a vital cog for the team and is one of the important players for the MI team as he smashed 87* in the 2021 IPL encounter held at the Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi and recorded the fastest fifty against CSK in just 17 balls.
The coin toss has been slightly advantageous to MI, with MI having won 17 tosses of the 32 tosses. Earlier, MI preferred to field first and CSK preferred to bat first after winning the toss respectively.
However, the trend seems to be changing recently as both teams are keen to field first after winning the toss. Our analysis suggests that in the MI vs CSK match prediction, MI is more likely to win against CSK, irrespective of the outcome of the toss.
