Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 33 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Thursday, April 23, at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Mumbai finally returned to winning ways in the last fixture, beating Gujarat Titans (GT) by 99 runs.

With just two wins from six matches, MI ranked seventh on the points table with four points and will look to get on a winning run to revive their campaign. On the other hand, CSK are coming into the game, having lost their previous fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They also have just two wins to their name from six games, and the recent injury to Ayush Mhatre has only added to their woes.

Players to watch out for in MI vs CSK

Sanju Samson

The CSK opener has had a mixed season so far, having scored 192 runs from six innings. However, 115* of those came in a single innings against Delhi Capitals (DC). Samson recently played a fiery knock of 89 (42) in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2026 against England at the same venue and would fancy emulating his heroics in the upcoming game.

Jasprit Bumrah

Having finally ended his wicket drought in the last fixture, Bumrah will be having his tail up heading into the upcoming game. The right-arm speedster is known to raise his game during crucial matches, and CSK could well be on the receiving end of Bumrah’s most menacing spell of the season.
