CricketGanit11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 33 of the IPL 2026 between MI vs CSK to be played in Mumbai.
Tilak Varma’s blistering century against Gujarat Titans (GT) helped Mumbai Indians (MI) to get their second win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. After four consecutive defeats, MI finally earned two points on the board. Now, they are gearing up to face their biggest rival, Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
This high-voltage clash is scheduled to take place at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday at 7:30 PM IST. The biggest news is the possible return of MS Dhoni after injury. For MI, Rohit Sharma is likely to feature in the playing XI. CSK lost their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Their leading scorer in the IPL 2026, Ayush Mhatre, has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Mhatre will be a big miss for CSK in the top order. Hence, they have to find someone reliable at No. 3. The injuries have certainly hurt CSK a lot, and they will be under pressure against MI.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock (wk), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Krish Bhagat, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar. (Impact Player: Ashwani Kumar).
