After 41 games the MI vs CSK head to head comes down to a single win: Mumbai Indians have 21 and Chennai Super Kings 20. The first meeting was on 23 Apr 2008, and not one game since has been tied or washed out.
The gap used to be wider. Chennai have won 8 of the last 10 meetings, including both games in 2026, and their 8-wicket win in Chennai on 2 May 2026 is the latest result in the data.
Season by season: Mumbai's peak, Chennai's comeback
The early years were close, with the series split in 2008 and 2009. Mumbai Indians then built their lead with 3 wins out of 4 in both 2013 and 2015, and 2019 was a 4 and 0 whitewash, the most one-sided season of the rivalry.
Chennai Super Kings had their own clean sweep in 2014, winning all 3 games. Since 2020, though, the pattern has swung their way. The sides split 2020, 2021 and 2022, and then Chennai won both games in 2023, the only game in 2024 and both in 2026. Apart from a 9-wicket Mumbai victory on 20 Apr 2025, the last six meetings all went to Chennai.
That run has cut a once comfortable Mumbai lead down to one. Full franchise records are on the Mumbai Indians IPL records and CSK IPL records pages.
