MI vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026: Will MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma turn out in ‘El Clasico’ tonight

MI vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026, Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings Cricket Match: Mumbai Indians will host arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings in the first ‘El Clasico’ of the IPL 2026 season at the Wankhede Stadium in Thursday. The two five-time IPL winners are currently near the bottom of the Points Table in 7th and 8th place currently and will be hoping to string together a few wins to keep in the hunt to reach the Playoffs.

The biggest question on every cricket fan’s mind is whether two of the biggest Indian cricketers – MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma – will be available to play in the match or not. Dhoni is yet to play a single match in the IPL 2026 season due to a calf strain while Rohit has been forced to miss the last couple of matches due to a hamstring injury.

Former CSK captain was seen undergoing wicketkeeping drills for a long time in the build-up to the IPL 2026 clash over the last couple of days at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. But some reports suggest that Dhoni might not be 100 per cent certain to play against MI and could make his return against Gujarat Titans at home in CSK’s next match.

Rohit, on the other hand, also had a long batting stint in the nets and the former MI captain’s availability will be decided just before the toss, according to team officials. CSK will also miss the services of pacer Mukesh Choudhary, who has been bereaved after the death of his mother.
