The Chennai Super Kings–Mumbai Indians rivalry, is a cricket rivalry between two franchises, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the defunct Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20).[1] [2] [3] [4] The two teams have played each other 37 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 Mumbai Indians having more victories (21).[5] They are the two most successful teams in IPL winning a combined 10 titles out of the 17 IPL seasons, with 5 titles each. 2022 was the first season when neither side advanced to the play-off stage.
Mumbai and Chennai are also considered as two of the biggest metropolitan cities in India and also represent the capital cities of the two largest states of India by GDP, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu and are also the largest cities on the western and eastern coasts of India respectively. In addition, the two largest film industries in India, the Hindi film industry (Bollywood) and the Tamil film industry (Kollywood) are based in Mumbai and Chennai respectively.
The highest run scorer from this fixture is Suresh Raina of Chennai Super Kings with 736 runs in 32 matches against Mumbai Indians, closely followed by Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma with 711 runs in 30 outings.
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.
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.

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.[8] With this, the Super Kings also qualified for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 that was held in South Africa.

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.
