A single win separates Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings across 41 men’s IPL meetings through 2 May 2026: Mumbai have 21, Chennai 20. Chennai won both fixtures in 2026, turning the latest chapter into an eight-wicket chase at Chepauk. Those two results narrowed the historical gap, but did not put CSK ahead in the overall record.
The teams have also met in IPL finals, with Chennai taking the 2010 title decider and Mumbai winning their 2013, 2015 and 2019 finals against CSK. The record here covers IPL games only. It does not add Champions League T20 encounters or imply anything about a future season’s squad.

Mumbai IndiansCSK vs MI IPL head-to-head record
Before the Chennai meeting on 2 May 2026, Mumbai led 21–19 across 40 IPL matches. Chennai then chased 160 to win its twentieth fixture against MI, making the current total 41. An older preview displaying 40 matches is therefore a date-specific snapshot, not a contradiction to this completed-match cutoff.
The margins across the last two meetings were very different: CSK won by 103 runs in Mumbai on 23 April and by eight wickets in Chennai nine days later. Neither score changes the fact that MI still hold a one-win historical lead. There are no ties or no-results in the counted IPL record.

Most runs in CSK vs MI IPL matches
Rohit Sharma leads the opponent-specific list with 881 IPL runs in this fixture. Suresh Raina follows on 710, MS Dhoni on 679, Ambati Rayudu on 658 and Kieron Pollard on 583. These are runs in games between Chennai and Mumbai, not the players’ total IPL career runs; Rayudu’s historical appearances for both sides do not indicate a current squad place.
Opponent-specific men’s IPL runs through 2 May 2026. The five figures were directly published in a dated pre-match table and remained unchanged in the subsequent completed fixture.
The pre-2 May table listed those same five totals after the 23 April meeting. Rohit was absent from MI’s batting scorecard in the 2 May game; CSK reached 160/2 with no innings from Dhoni. Raina, Rayudu and Pollard had no batting appearance in that latest game. That is why adding Chennai’s most recent win changes the matchup’s win tally but not this top-five batting display.
Last five CSK vs MI IPL matches
Mumbai set Chennai 160 in the newest match, but Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s unbeaten 67 and a 160/2 finish gave CSK an eight-wicket victory with 11 balls remaining. The other 2026 game had CSK 207/6 at Wankhede, followed by MI’s 104 all out; Sanju Samson‘s unbeaten 101 for Chennai was a central part of that 103-run result. These are separate league fixtures, not two descriptions of one match.
Mumbai’s lone win in this five-game window came on 20 April 2025, when it chased CSK’s 176/5 for 177/1. Rohit finished 76 not out and Suryakumar Yadav 68 not out. The March 2025 season meeting instead went to Chennai by four wickets, and CSK also defended 206/4 by 20 runs in April 2024. The list below is ordered by match date, not by the biggest margin or the most memorable playoff encounter.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 May 2026 | Chennai | Chennai Super Kings | CSK by 8 wickets | MI 159/7; CSK 160/2 |
