Mumbai Indians will be out of the series if they lose today’s match; If CSK loses, all the matches that will be played will be life and death.
IPL The match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in the series takes place today. Chennai Super Kings, led by Ravindra Jadeja, have won just one of their last six matches in the current series. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians, led by Rohit Sharma, have not won a single match in the last six. If Mumbai loses today’s match, they will be eliminated from the series.
The return of Ruthuraj Kejriwal to the ‘Farm’ in the Chennai team is an added strength. Hopefully he will lend a hand in this match as well as in the last match. CSK can only escape if Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu and Moin Ali return to their old form. Shivam Dubey, the leading run-scorer in the Chennai team, has to give a consistent batting. Both Dhoni and Jadeja can be counted on to lead the team to victory as finishers. There is no such thing as a wicket-taker for Chennai. Only Twain Bravo and Deeksana are comforting in bowling.
The form of captains Rohit Sharma and Ishant Kishan is worrying for the Mumbai team. If they return, half of the team’s problem will be over. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Previs and Pollard should work together to help the team win. No other fast bowler in the Mumbai squad except Bumra has saved the team. The overall players in the Mumbai team are forced to rise.
There is a high expectation on this match as there will be no shortage of excitement in this match between the two teams which are facing a series of defeats.
