As the IPL fever begins, 74 games will be contested in 13 cities over the course of the next two months. On May 20 and 21, respectively, Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will take place in Hyderabad. Kolkata will host the second qualifier on May 23 and the final on May 25.
Last season, the Mumbai Indians had a forgettable season, finishing at the bottom of the table with only four victories in 14 games. Both on and off the pitch, Hardik Pandya struggled. This season, they have an excellent team with a solid core of Indian hitters. Their main players will compete for the IPL 2025 Orange Cap this season, thanks to a strong batting lineup. Bumrah is expected to miss the opening games of the IPL, so they will be hoping he can recover and play in the second half.
On the other side, Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the team’s captain. With Ashwin and Noor Ahmed on board, they have put together a very potent spin attack. Sam Curran returns to the CSK team as well. This game between these two teams is expected to be fiercely contested, and they have an interesting lineup.
