Follow UsMumbai Indians (MI) seemed to have turned things around in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with back-to-back wins and they come up against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are struggling for form as well, but their win against Luckow Super Giants (LSG) would have given them confidence going into this clash.
