Mumbai Indians will take on Chennai Super Kings on 8th April 2023 in Mumbai. The 12th match of IPL 2023 will be a thrilling clash as both squads are the most successful teams of the Indian Premier League. Rohit Sharma will lead Mumbai Indians, while Mahindra Singh Dhoni will be the Skipper of Chennai Super Kings. The thrilling encounter between both squads will begin at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
In the previous season of the Indian Premier League, Mumbai ended up at the bottom of the scoreboard. The reason for this failure was that most squad members were unfit due to injuries. But in the latest season of the IPL tournament, Mumbai Indians will emerge in their completely active form. Fans can expect a better performance from Mumbai Indians this season.
Let’s have a look at Mumbai Indians Squad against Chennai Super Kings.
Rohit Sharma will lead the squad against Chennai Super Kings. At the top order of the batting line, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will set up the crease for the rest of the team as an opener. In the middle order, Mumbai Indians will have aggressive batters Cameron Green, Tilak Verma, Tim David, and Suryakumar Yadav.
The absence of Jasprit Bumrah will be unfortunate for Mumbai Indians. In the bowling line, Jason Behrendorff, Cameron Green, Piyush Chawla, and Kumar Kartikeya will defend Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings. However, Mumbai Indians will be a little weak in bowling attacks.
On the other hand, under the command of Mahindra Singh, Dhoni Chennai Super Kings will take the lead on Mumbai Indians. In IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings needed to be in better form. But in this IPL season, Chennai needs help to take the spot in the top four squads. In the entire batting order, Rituraj Gaikwad and Shane Watson will try to contribute the highest partnership against Mumbai.
Ambati Rayudu, Mahindra Singh Dhoni, Moeen Ali, Ben Stoke, Shivam Dubey, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will make a perfect plan against Mumbai bowlers. At the same time, there is no experience bowler in the bowling line of Chennai Super Kings. Still, Deepak Chahar, Mahesh Dakshina, Moeen Ali, Jadeja, and Ben Stoke will be in good form against Chennai Super Kings.
