Ex-India batter Manoj Tiwary opined that the MI-CSK match has now become "one-sided" after CSK defeated MI by 8 wickets. "This is no more El Clásico...You can remove the 'Clásico' word now...It would be wrong to say that this is an El Clásico rivalry now," he added. Notably, CSK have won six out of seven matches against MI since 2023.
