Current Score: 16/1 in 3.1 Overs. Rachin Ravindra out by Ashwani Kumar.
Indian Premier League at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai(MI) as declared by their captain, Hardik Pandya. Both teams have made two changes, with Mumbai’s Ashwani Kumar replacing Karn Sharma, and Chennai’s(CSK) Ayush Mathre set to make his debut. Both teams enter this match following victories in their last outings.
Despite their inconsistent performances over the last two seasons, CSK boasts an impressive record against MI, and they are close to potentially falling out of contention for a playoff spot with another defeat. With new additions like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevies, CSK aims to bolster their batting lineup, which has yet to click into gear.
CSK’s performance during the Powerplay has been among the poorest, and they will face a tough challenge from MI’s strong bowling lineup, featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar. Additionally, attention will be on Rohit Sharma, who continues to have difficulty scoring while playing as the Impact Sub for MI.
