It's become a tradition for the previous season's finalists to play the first match. And the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which owns and runs the IPL, announced the fixtures, pitting the two most successful outfits in the league's history.

This is the most played fixture in the IPL, and probably in all of T20 leagues around the world -- a classic, or probably 'El Clasico' in the footballing parlance, if we may, borrowed from the unrivaled Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalry.

MI and CSK have met 30 times (including twice in now-defunct Champions League Twenty20), with MI leading 18-12. But in the IPL, the record stands 17-11 (28), with Rohit Sharma-lead MI winning all four clashes last season, including that thrilling one-run win in the big final.

When these two teams enter the field on September 19, more records will be created. MI will play their 188th match while - the most, while it will be 177th match for CSK - tied with Delhi Capitals (DC)on fourth.

There are 22 occasions of both the teams scoring 200 plus runs in the same match.

Delhi (Daredevils and Capitals) have been dismissed for a total of less than 100 runs in a completed innings on ten occasions, an unwanted record. RCB and MI share the joint second place with five each.
