This season was like a nightmare for Ravindra Jadeja as well and he also gave up the captaincy in the middle. In the last match against Delhi, he was out due to injury. Now it remains to be seen whether he can play against Mumbai. Chennai will have to score big for which all the batsmen will have to perform well. Last time in the match of both the teams, Dhoni had won by showing his ‘finishing style’.
CSK bundled out Delhi for 117 runs. Moeen Ali took three wickets while young pacers Mukesh Chaudhary and Simranjit Singh also did well. The trio will have to put together a good performance while spinner Mahish Teekshana’s four overs can also change the course of the match. A lot will depend on Dwayne Bravo’s performance.
Rest of the matches for Mumbai are formalities and they will have to perform well. Captain Rohit Sharma (200 runs), Ishan Kishan (321 runs) will be responsible for the batting. Mumbai’s middle-order, which has faltered against KKR, will also have to improve its performance. Suryakumar Yadav is out due to injury. In such a situation, the responsibility will be more on Tilak Verma, Tim David, Ramandeep Singh and Kieran Pollard.
In bowling, Bumrah has found his momentum and he will be looking for support from other bowlers. Daniel Sams, Riley Meredith and Kumar Karthikeya Singh will have to curb the Chennai batsmen.
