MI vs CSK Pitch Report
Teams batting first have successfully defended the total in 5 of the 11 matches played at this venue. As a result, winning the toss and bowling first may not work in this match. The hitters did manage to put up a solid total in the last game between RCB and LSG, but the bowlers had a fair amount of assistance throughout the contest. Pacers will likely love bowling here because the pitch has supplied them with adequate bounce and speed in recent contests.

MI vs CSK Must Picks
Despite missing the first two games, Mumbai Indians’ leading run-scorer is Suryakumar Yadav. He is the backbone of MI’s middle-order and has two half-centuries in four games. He has scored more than 30 runs in each of the four innings and might have a big advantage against CSK’s poor bowling attack in this match.
With the first time in this event, Robin Uthappa was dismissed for a single-digit score in the final match. Uthappa has two half-centuries, including one against RCB. He is CSK’s second-highest run-scorer in the competition, and he will seek to continue his fine form in this encounter.
CSK has discovered a match-winner in Maheesh Theekshana. Theekshana has taken 6 wickets in three matches, with an average of 14.66, an economy of 7.33, and a strike rate of 12. He took four wickets for 33 runs against RCB, including two in the powerplay.
Ishan Kishan struck back-to-back half-centuries in MI’s first two matches. However, he has not been able to replicate his previous performances in the last four matches, in which Ishan has failed to even reach the 30-run mark. To have a chance against the reigning champs, MI will need him to be firing on all cylinders in this match.
Ravindra Jadeja has yet to arrive at the party with the bat. He did, however, provide a peek of his bowling prowess against RCB, picking up three wickets for 39 runs.
