Hardik Pandya Suspended for CSK vs MI IPL 2025 Match
The highly anticipated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match on March 23, 2025, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, will see MI without their captain, Hardik Pandya.
Pandya faces a one-match suspension due to Mumbai’s third slow over-rate offence in IPL 2024. Since MI did not qualify for the playoffs last season, the penalty has been carried over to IPL 2025.
Who Will Lead MI in Pandya’s Absence?
With Pandya sidelined, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, or Suryakumar Yadav could step in as MI’s stand-in captain for this crucial fixture.
Pandya had a disappointing IPL 2024 season, leading MI to just four wins as the team finished last. His controversial appointment as captain over Rohit Sharma led to widespread fan backlash.
Meanwhile, CSK will play four of their first six matches at home, making this an even bigger challenge for MI without their regular skipper.
