The Mumbai batter, who has been brought as a replacement for injured Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK\u2019s regular skipper), has replaced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/rahul-tripathi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Rahul Tripathi<\/a> in the lineup. He was picked for his base price of INR 30 lakh last week.<\/p>\n<p>At the toss, Dhoni said (via Cricbuzz):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have one change &#8211; Ayush comes in for Tripathi.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As per ESPNcricinfo, Ayush Mhatre has played seven List A games and nine first-class matches, amassing 458 and 504 runs, respectively. He has two tons and a fifty each in the two formats.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Mhatre smashed 148 against Saurashtra while representing Mumbai in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy in January 2025. Apart from batting, he\u2019s also a part-time off-spinner with seven scalps in as many List-A games.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>MI elect to bowl against CSK in IPL 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl against CSK in the IPL 2025 match. Justifying his decision, he said (via Cricbuzz):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are gonna bowl first. It looks like a very good wicket. Same wicket we played against RCB. That gives us a chance to look at the wicket, identify our plans. It has a good covering of grass and will be a good batting wicket.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mumbai fielded an unchanged side after back-to-back wins over Delhi Capitals (DC) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). They will look to register a hat-trick of victories and avenge their four-wicket loss to the Super Kings earlier this season. With three wins in seven games, they are placed seventh in the IPL 2025 points table.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, CSK are 10th with just two wins in seven games. They beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by five wickets to return to winning ways in their last outing. They are yet to lose against arch-rivals Mumbai in their last five meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow the MI vs CSK IPL 2025 live score and updates <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/live-cricket-score\/mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings-match-38-20-april-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">here<\/a><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/15642-1715148420-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;James Kuanal&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nJames has been covering cricket news for Sportskeeda for over 2.5 years with over 1 crore readership.
