Fans ready for MIvsCSK, Rohit’s brigade will avenge the previous match, Dhoni’s fans will return in form

Chennai. The double header on Saturday in the Indian Premier League 2023 is going to be intense once again. The 49th match of IPL 2023 will be between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. In this match to be held at Chennai’s home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium, both the teams will once again face to face. In this match, both the teams would like to win by coming on the field with their excellent performance.

Both teams will clash in Chennai after four years
On one hand, the Chennai team has been in a very bad condition in the last three matches and they have been able to score only one point because the team’s previous match was washed away in the rain. In such a situation, Dhoni’s fans would like to return to the winning ways by defeating Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Although Mumbai’s spirits are high and it is also its favorite ground. Five-time champions Mumbai have won the last two matches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Mumbai had defeated Chennai at their home in 2019. Now after a long gap of almost four years, five-time winners and four-time winners will face each other. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are arch rival teams.

Let us tell you that the last match of Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings was to be held at Lucknow’s home ground with Lucknow Super Giants. The match was washed out due to rain, due to which both the teams got one point each. However, in the two matches played earlier, the Chennai team had to face defeat. In a very exciting match played on 30 April, Chennai Super Kings had to be defeated on the last ball. After being defeated in the last match, the Chennai team would not like to disappoint the fans at their home ground.

Devon Conway (414 runs) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (354 runs) got the team off to a good start but the middle order failed to capitalize. Experienced Ajinkya Rahane and youngster Shivam Dubey have scored runs but Ambati Rayudu and Moeen Ali’s bats have been more or less silent.

Significantly, these days Mahendra Singh Dhoni is coming down in the batting order, but he is playing explosive shots even when he comes in the last. And his fans are wondering why he is sending out-of-form Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja to bat ahead of him. Chennai defeated Mumbai in the first match on the basis of Rahane’s brilliant batting and Rahane would like to repeat that performance once again. The return of Deepak Chahar has strengthened the bowling but Tushar Deshpande (17 wickets, economy rate 12.11) has given away a lot of runs. Jadeja has bowled well but could not do anything amazing with the bat. There is talk of dropping all-rounder Mitchell Santner but it remains to be seen whether he can replace Moeen or Mahish Teekshana. On the other hand, after a slow start, Mumbai Indians have found their rhythm and are chasing a big target. However, the failure of the bowlers to contain the opposition batsmen has increased the problems of captain Rohit Sharma. Experienced Jofra Archer has failed to pick up wickets. The Mumbai team management will be happy to have Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan back in form. Tim David and Tilak Verma have played the role of finishers well.

Here are the teams of both:

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Dewald Brewis, Tilak Verma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Vishnu Vinod, Cameron Green, Arjun Tendulkar, Ramandeep Singh, Shams Mulani, Riley Meredith, Nehal Wadhera, Hrithik Shokeen , Arshad Khan, Duane Jansen, Piyush Chawla, Kumar Kartikeya, Raghav Goyal, Jofra Archer, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal.
