The Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will look to change their fortune and get back to winning ways when they face each other in the 44th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.

The Chennai Super Kings return to action after a six-day break. They were beaten by the Gujarat Titans at the Chepauk by eight wickets in a game where their batters looked clueless against an experienced bowling attack. CSK scored just 158 runs, which was easily chased down by GT. The Super Kings sit in sixth place on the table, with three wins and five losses from eight matches.

While the Mumbai Indians are also coming to the contest after suffering a shocking loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad, despite scoring 243 runs in 20 overs, their bowling was below par, and they lost the match by 6 wickets.
