Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni

Today is an exciting match in the Indian Premier League. The two most successful teams in IPL history, the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, will face each other. This clash is taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Although these two best teams haven't had a great run in the current edition, they are sailing in the same boat. Ever since Rohit Sharma joined MI (in 2011), it's never been the case that neither he nor Dhoni has played in an MI vs CSK match. Fans will hope that at least one of them plays today. Find out the probable playing XI for today's match.

Will Rohit and Dhoni play today?

MS Dhoni hasn't played a single match in IPL 2026, having been injured before the league began. Although he has now joined the team and resumed practice, it's believed he won't be able to play today against the Mumbai Indians. However, the good news for Chennai fans is that Dhoni practiced hard on Tuesday, making it likely that he will bat as an impact player today.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, who is suffering from a hamstring injury, did not practice on Tuesday. Without him, the Mumbai Indians played their last two matches, winning one and losing the other. The Mumbai team stated that Rohit is still being evaluated and a decision on his participation will be made before the toss.

Who will replace Ayush Mhatre?

Ayush was injured in the previous match and is now out of the tournament. Urvil Patel is the most likely player to replace him in the playing XI. Urvil scored 195 runs at a strike rate of 244 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025, including a century.
