The CSK vs MI rivalry is the oldest and fiercest rivalry in the history of IPL.
-
CSK had lost four games to MI last year, including the all important final clash. This year, though, CSK took their revenge and defeated MI convincingly in the opening clash of the tournament.
-
The two teams meet again today although the tables have turned dramatically. While CSK are on the verge of crashing out of the tournament, MI are on the verge of finishing at the top position in the round-robin stage.
-
CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of the ongoing IPL with a groin injury, dealing a massive blow to the already struggling side.
