CSK will take on Mumbai in their do or die match
In a do or die game for Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, the team is set to take on their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai and CSK have claimed IPL Winners’ title five and four times respectively. However, this edition of the tournament has not been in his favour.
Mumbai will play for Gaurav after their exit earlier this season. If CSK loses the match, it will directly join MI for their exit from the tournament.
M S DhoniThe led team will gain confidence with a 91-run victory over Delhi Capitals in their last outing and hope that the batsmen will carry on with their scintillating performances.
the weather turned bad Ravindra Jadeja Who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to injury.
CSK batsmen need to play with consistency and hit big shots. While the bowlers are seen on the right track after their performance in the previous match when they bundled out DC for 117.
For Mumbai, all remaining games are ‘dead rubbers’ and they will need to deliver ‘full performance’ with better batting performance.
captain Rohit Sharma Responsibility will need to be taken for granted and Ishan Kishan can pick up the pace after his half-century in the last match. MI’s middle-order batsmen will also have to get the action right.
The exclusion of Suryakumar Yadav will require Tilak Verma, Tim David, Ramandeep Singh and Kieron Pollard, who have failed, to take on more responsibility.
Bumrah, who has been in good form with the bowling, needs the support of other bowlers.
While Mumbai will be eyeing revenge, for Chennai the game is about “survival”.
