There is a different feeling in the air when the Mumbai Indians take on the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. The two teams have shared an intense rivalry since the tournament began in 2008, and it is no wonder that both CSK and IM have emerged as the two most successful teams in tournament history. While MI has won four titles with Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni has led CSK to three IPL titles over the years.
