It will be Rohit Sharma vs Ms Dhoni again. In 2019, IPL finals, we all witnessed the epic match between two of the most powerful IPL teams, i.e. MI vs CSK. Although Mumbai Indians won the finals, CSK gave a tough competition.
Both these teams have won most of the IPL seasons. And this year is going to be another battle for the title.
2019 was the deciding match between which team will lead. At that time MI and CSK both had three wins under their wing, but then MI won the match thereby making their score 4. Let’s have a look at the wins.
| MI Wins: | CSK Wins: |
| 2013 IPL Winner | 2010 IPL Winner |
| 2015 IPL Winner | 2011 IPL Winner |
| 2017 IPL Winner | 2018 IPL Winner |
| 2019 IPL Winner | |
| Total 4 Wins | Total 3 Wins |
2020 will be another chance for CSK to tie their score with MI. But we cannot be too sure when it comes to IPL. It is a dynamic game in which anything can happen.
