MI vs CSK IPL 2021
The 27th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 will see defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) locking horns with three-time title-holders Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The two sides will face each other on May 1 (Saturday) at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi.
All the games of IPL 2021 will be broadcast live on Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 3 and Star Sports 3 HD TV channels in India. Moreover, it will be live-streamed on the Disney+Hotstar and Jio TV App.
Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are the top picks for MI vs CSK.
Team Preview – Mumbai Indians
Defending champions Mumbai Indians made a brilliant comeback in their previous game against Rajasthan Royals. The Rohit Sharma-led side registered a one-sided victory after suffering from consecutive losses. Moreover, MI’s key players Quinton de Kock and Krunal Pandya found their lost form with the bat. They dropped Ishan Kishan during the clash against RR and are expected to take the field with the same playing XI only. MI have a brilliant record against Chennai Super Kings that might give them a psychological advantage in this match.
Team Preview – Chennai Super Kings
Table-toppers Chennai Super Kings have looked like a completely different side from their performance in the last season. The MS Dhoni-led side has won five back-to-back games after suffering a loss in their maiden clash of the season. CSK’s opening pair of Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad has been one the most consistent openers of IPL 2021. Also, with outstanding all-rounders like Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali, Chennai is undoubtedly the most balanced team of this edition.
