Two teams with five IPL titles each will face each other on Saturday. Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with Mumbai Indians at Chepauk Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>MI have been poor this season, and they have yet to play their best cricket. They have only managed to win two games. Despite having several big names, the poor form has hurt them a lot. CSK also have a similar situation at the moment. Their overreliance on Sanju Samson hasn&#39;t worked well for them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><meta name=\"generator\" content=\"quillbot-gc\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CSK vs MI: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: May 2, 2026 (Saturday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 7:30 PM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Chepauk Stadium, Chennai<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CSK vs MI Live Streaming Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>To watch the CSK vs MI game live, fans can tune into Star Sports Networks.

This season, the average score in four games here is 190-200. The bowlers will get swing with the new ball, whereas the spinners will get some grip as the ball gets old. But overall, it is a good venue for the batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CSK vs MI Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>CSK<\/strong>: Urvil Patel, Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sarfaraz Khan, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Jamie Overton, Jamie Overton, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapneet Singh<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>MI<\/strong>: Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Robin Minz, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Allah Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CSK vs MI Player to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable<\/strong> <strong>Best<\/strong> <strong>Batter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>CSK have won three games, and Sanju Samson has scored the most runs in all three games.
