MI vs CSK Live Score: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya wins the toss and elects to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Chennai Super Kings began the tournament looking for rhythm and the right combination, like most sides early on. Just when things started to fall into place, they were hit by a setback. Youngster Ayush Mhatre, who had impressed with 201 runs, suffered a hamstring injury, disrupting their plans and forcing the team to rethink their batting setup at a crucial stage of the competition.

MI vs CSK Live Score: For Mumbai Indians, Will Jacks has linked up with the squad after arriving in India ahead of Thursday’s clash. The all-rounder has already begun training at the Wankhede Stadium and is expected to add further depth and balance to the lineup.

MI vs CSK Live Score: There could be no better opponent for Ruturaj Gaikwad to rediscover form than Mumbai Indians. He has enjoyed success against them, scoring 241 runs in nine matches at an average of 41.57 and a strike rate above 151, including three fifties. His recent returns against MI — 7, 40*, 30, 69 and 53 — also reflect a solid record, suggesting this could be the fixture where he turns things around.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Jasprit Bumrah’s return to form came at the perfect time for Mumbai Indians, as he picked up his first wicket of the season in his sixth match during their emphatic 99-run win. The breakthrough seemed to ease him into rhythm, and he looked sharp thereafter, striking at key moments.

MI vs CSK Live Score: With both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings locked on four points each, net run rate is the only factor separating them, with MI placed seventh (0.067) and CSK just behind in eighth (-0.780). Meanwhile, several in-form teams have already surged ahead, reaching eight or more points, making the contest even more crucial as both sides look to keep pace in the standings.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Sarfaraz Khan has been fairly consistent with 147 runs so far, contributing useful starts in the middle order. However, he is yet to turn those promising knocks into a substantial innings, something his side would expect given his key role in the batting lineup. While he has shown the ability to anchor and rotate strike, a bigger score could make a significant difference for his team going forward.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Chennai Super Kings have brought in Akash Madhwal as a replacement for Ayush Mhatre, who has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to injury. Mhatre, India’s U19 World Cup-winning captain, had made a strong impression early in the season, scoring two fifties in six outings before sustaining a left hamstring injury during the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Madhwal joins the squad for a fee of ₹30 lakh.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Hardik Pandya hasn’t made the impact expected of him this season, scoring 96 runs in five matches at an average of 24.00. His strike rate of 143.28 is decent, but he has lacked the finishing punch that defines his game. With a highest score of 40 and no half-centuries so far, he hasn’t been able to take games deep or shift momentum, leaving Mumbai Indians searching for stronger contributions from their captain.

MI vs CSK Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t quite found his rhythm this season, scoring 121 runs in six matches at an average of 20.17. While his strike rate of 151.25 suggests he’s looking to play his natural game, the consistency hasn’t been there. With just one fifty and a highest score of 51, he hasn’t been able to take control of innings like he usually does, leaving Mumbai Indians wanting more from one of their most dependable batters.
