The biggest blockbuster of the Tata IPL 2025 is here – Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, the ultimate showdown of five-time champions. Two of the most successful franchises in IPL history lock horns on Sunday, April 20, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in what is rightfully called the "El Clasico" of the IPL.
This match is not just about points. It’s about legacy, pride, and two of the sharpest cricketing minds in the modern game: Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.
The Battle of Legends
Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni both sit atop the throne with five IPL titles as captains. Rohit, often called the ‘Hitman’, has six titles to his name as a player and has been the architect of MI's dominance in the last decade. Dhoni, the talisman of CSK, remains the heart and soul of the Chennai franchise and continues to be a force to reckon with even in IPL 2025.
Speaking to Star Sports, Rohit praised the ever-threatening presence of Dhoni on the field:
"Dhoni has captained for so long, won so many matches, won so many trophies… you can't relax when you're playing against him. Dhoni is not someone who will let the game drift away from him easily so you have to be on your toes for the whole game… don't be relaxed."
Rohit further opened up in The Rohit Sharma Experience – a new unfiltered series streaming on Winexch. In the series, he reflects on the ups and downs of MI’s journey and shares leadership lessons that helped him turn setbacks into success.
