Template:Infobox sports rivalry The Chennai Super Kings–Mumbai Indians rivalry, is a cricket rivalry between two franchises, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the defunct Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20).[1][2][3][4] The two teams have played each other 41 times in IPL and 2 times in CLT20 which is the most number of times any two IPL teams have faced off each other, with the MI having more victories with 22, while CSK have won 21 matches.[5]

Mumbai and Chennai are two of the biggest metropolitan cities in India, being the largest ones in western and eastern coast respectively. They are also the capital cities of the two largest states in India by GDP, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. They are the two most successful teams in IPL winning a combined 10 titles out of the 18, with 5 titles each. The two sides are known to have a large fan following across the country.[6]

The highest run scorers from these fixtures are Rohit Sharma (MI) with 913 runs in 30 innings with 1 century, and Suresh Raina (CSK) with 736 runs in 32 outings.

History

Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have historically engaged in some of the most iconic clashes in the IPL, including four times in the final.

2008–2009: First seasons

The spark for the CSK-MI rivalry was lit at their first IPL meeting. A stacked CSK batting order fired to rack up a massive 208 for five in its first game at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. Opener Matthew Hayden's belligerent 46-ball 81 set the base before Suresh Raina's fifty (53) and skipper MS Dhoni's 16-ball 30 cameo put MI under pressure. Mumbai, however, threatened to chase down the target with contributions through the order but none could capitalise to play a match-defining knock. MI required 19 to win in the final over, but only managed 12 as CSK eked out the visitor by six runs.

2010, 2013, 2015, 2019: Finals

2010 Finals

Template:Main Mumbai Indians qualified for the final for first time in their Indian Premier League history while it was the second time for Chennai Super Kings in three years. Super Kings qualified for the final at 2008 Indian Premier League where they lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets in a last ball thriller.[7] In the 2010 IPL final Super Kings faced the tournament favourites Mumbai Indians at their home ground in the final.[8] Suresh Raina's 57 (35) helped the Super Kings recover from 68/3 after 12 overs to put up 168/5 at the end of their 20 overs. Then, their spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Muralitharan conceded only 41 runs in the 8 overs bowled between them to help the Super Kings won the game by 22 runs and secure their first ever IPL title.[9] With this, the Super Kings also qualified for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 that was held in South Africa.

2013 Finals

Template:Main In the first Qualifier at Delhi against Mumbai Indians, the Super Kings posted 192/1 in 20 overs riding on unbeaten half-centuries from Hussey (86* off 58 balls) and Raina (82* off 42 balls) before bowling out their opponents for 144.[10] Thus they entered the final of the IPL for the fourth time in succession where they would play the same opponents, Mumbai Indians, at Kolkata. At the final, batting first, the Mumbai Indians made 148/9 in their 20 overs. In reply, the Super Kings were reduced to 39/6 at one stage before an unbeaten half-century from skipper Dhoni took them close to the target. However, Mumbai Indians won the match by 23 runs to win their first ever IPL title.[11]

2015 Finals

Template:Main It was the third time these two teams met in the final, having previously played each other in the 2010 and 2013 finals. Mumbai defeated Chennai by 41 runs to win their second IPL title, playing in their third IPL final. Their previous IPL victory had come at the same venue against the same opposition in 2013.[12] Chennai were playing their sixth IPL final, attempting to win their third title. Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma was awarded man of the match for his innings of 50.[13] The final was sold out,[14] with a final attendance of around 67,000 people.[15]

2019 Finals

Template:Main Mumbai Indians won the title for the fourth time by defeating Chennai Super Kings by 1 run in the 2019 Indian Premier League Final. Mumbai Indians became the most successful team of IPL by winning their fourth title, while Chennai Super Kings was second with three titles. Mumbai Indians scored 149 runs in the final match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings managed to score 148 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs, with the final ball resulting in a run-out. Shane Watson scored 80 off of 59 balls, with 8 fours and 4 sixes.[16] Jasprit Bumrah was awarded Player of the Match.
