CSK vs MI Preview, Dream11 Prediction 3rd Match, IPL 2025
Hello and welcome to the CHE vs MI Dream11 Prediction for the 3rd match of IPL 2025.
Two of the most iconic and successful teams in IPL history – Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians are set to face off in what promises to be a high-voltage clash.
Surprisingly, both teams failed to qualify for the playoffs last season, which is rare given their legacy.
This year, they’ll be eager to bounce back strong and remind everyone why they’ve dominated the league over the years.
Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai Super Kings had a mixed campaign last season. They played 14 matches, winning 7 and losing 7, finishing in 5th place on the points table with 14 points just missing out on a playoff spot.
It’s quite rare to see a team like CSK not make it to the playoffs, and this time, they’ll be looking to come back stronger.
Fans will once again be excited to see MS Dhoni back in action, especially with the bat, even if he’s not leading the side anymore.
Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was brilliant last season, ending as the 2nd highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 with 583 runs to his name, and will be crucial for CSK’s success this year.
Mumbai Indians:
How often do you see Mumbai Indians at the bottom of the points table?
It’s almost unheard of, but that was the reality last season for one of the most successful teams in IPL history.
Mumbai Indians had a tough campaign in IPL 2024, playing 14 matches, winning only 4, and losing 10.
They ended up finishing at the very bottom of the points table with just 8 points, a shocking outcome for a franchise with five titles to its name.
They’ll be desperate to turn things around this season and get back to their winning ways.

The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai is well known for being a spin-friendly surface.
Batting is comparatively easier early on when the ball is new and coming onto the bat.
However, as the ball gets older, spinners come into play and start to dominate, making scoring in the middle overs a real challenge.
Teams will need to be smart with their batting approach and play spin carefully on this turning track.
Weather Report of Chennai
There’s no chance of rain, so we’re set for a full match.
The temperature is expected to be around 30°C, with humidity at 75%, which means conditions could be quite humid and draining for the players.

Team News
Chennai Super Kings
The overseas players will likely be R Ravindra, Sam Curran, Matheesha Pathirana, and Noor Ahmad, giving CSK a balanced mix of pace, spin, and all-round options.
As for MS Dhoni, fans are always hoping to see more of him with the bat, but unless there’s a collapse or specific situation, it’s unlikely that his batting order will change. He’ll probably stick to finishing duties as usual.
Anshul Kamboj and Rahul Tripathi will play as impact sub.
Mumbai Indians
Hardik Pandya will miss the first match of IPL 2025 due to a one-match ban for maintaining a slow over rate in his last IPL appearance.
In his absence, Suryakumar Yadav will step in as the stand-in captain for Mumbai Indians.
Adding to their concerns, Jasprit Bumrah is injured and won’t be available for the opening clash.
To fill the gap in the bowling unit, either Satyanarayana Raju or Arjun Tendulkar is likely to be included in the playing XI.
