Mumbai's story is far grimmer. They have managed just four points from eight matches and are deep in the bottom half of the table. Captain Hardik Pandya has now lost four of his last five games, and the pressure is mounting with every passing match.
Absentees dominate the team news heading into this fixture. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has confirmed that MS Dhoni aggravated an existing calf injury and is unlikely to take the field on Saturday.
Mumbai, too, are dealing with fitness concerns. Rohit Sharma is not expected to be available, and Quinton de Kock is also doubtful. Should de Kock miss out, MI will likely persist with Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton at the top.
Conditions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium will be a major talking point for this fixture. There will be assistance for spinners and slow bowlers, like Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad, who will be looking to make an impact.
There is little chance of dew, and the skipper winning the toss might be tempted to bat first on a fresh wicket.
