The third match of the IPL 2025, CHE vs MI, is scheduled to be played on Sunday evening in Chennai.

The El-Clasico of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Mumbai Indians (MI), will be played on Sunday evening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. This will be the third match of the ongoing IPL 2025.

These two teams failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2024 and will be looking to improve from that. These are the two most successful teams in IPL history, and both heavyweights have a number of match-winners in their side.

That makes it difficult for the fans to choose players while making Dream11 teams on fantasy cricket platforms. A right captain can change the outcome on fantasy cricket platforms. In this article, we will talk about three potential captaincy picks for CSK vs MI game on Sunday.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for CSK vs MI, Match 3, IPL 2025

1. Rachin Ravindra

The Kiwi opener Rachin Ravindra is in red-hot form, and he is superb on Asian pitches. He is coming off a great campaign at ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer.

He plays well against spin and pace, which makes him a bankable batter at Chepauk Stadium. His off-spin can also be pretty handy, which is why he can be an ideal pick for captaincy for CSK vs MI Dream11 team.

2. Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma has had an incredible start to his international T20I career. The 22-year-old has grown in confidence and will be batting at No. 3 for MI. He is good with sweeps and reverse sweeps, which will help him in Chennai conditions, which will favour spinners.

His current form makes him the right choice to make him captain of Dream11 teams across fantasy cricket platforms. Tilak has done well for MI in the last few seasons, and this could be another good season for him with the bat.

3. Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a beast with the bat while donning the yellow jersey. Since his debut, no other CSK batter has scored more runs than him. He is a bankable batter, and since he became the captain of the team, his run-scoring graph has gone up.

He will bat at the top, which gives more chance to score and earn points on various fantasy cricket platforms. He is someone who has always been among runs in the IPL. That is why Gaikwad can be a good pick as captain for CSK vs MI Dream11 teams.
