MI vs CSK player battle for 3rd Match of IPL 2025
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings the titans of the Indian Premier League 2025 are set to clash on Sunday, in the third match of the league phase. Also known as the El Clasico of IPL, this matchup will be a powerful match, as it not only connects the teams, but also their fans. Let’s take a look at the MI vs CSK player battle for 3rd Match of IPL 2025.
- Rohit Sharma vs Ravichandran Ashwin
Rohit Sharma, India’s captain and MI’s batting power, will be a major player in the showdown against CSK’s spin wizard, Ravichandran Ashwin. Rohit’s 837 runs against CSK showcase his consistency, but Ashwin potentially back with CSK for ₹9.75 crore thrives on Chepauk’s grippy track.
His carrom balls and subtle pace shifts could stifle Rohit’s flowing drives and lofted cover shots. Rohit loves a challenge, but Ashwin’s home advantage makes this a chess match with a bat and ball. It’s until Sunday, until then we wait to see who shall prevail.
- Suryakumar Yadav vs Matheesha Pathirana
With Hardik Pandya banned for a match, Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mi as their captain, bringing his audacious flair to the Chepauk Pitch. With CSK’s sling-action speedster, Matheesha Pathirana, whose toe-crushing yorkers have haunted MI before.
Suryakumar’s wristy flicks and aerial scoops could neutralize Pathirana’s raw pace, but one misjudged shot against the Sri Lankan’s unorthodox release might spell doom. This middle-overs tussle could dictate the chase or collapse.
- MS Dhoni vs Trent Boult
At 43, MS Dhoni still remains CSK’s clutch king, turning games with his ice-cool and power hitting finishing. MI’s new weapon, Trent Boult, aims to spoil the party. Boult’s early swing and late cutters could target Dhoni’s stumps, especially if CSK needs a miracle in the death overs. Dhoni’s knack for reading bowlers meets Boult’s crafty variations, think a helicopter shot versus a pinpoint yorker. This clash of legends might just seal the deal on sunday.
