The poor form of Chennai Super Kings may take Sheen with the return leg of this year’s IPL Classico, but for Mumbai Indians, the competition will challenge the strategy to change the strategy to maintain its victory in Mumbai on Sunday. Mumbai Indians have performed well to revive their faltering campaign with two consecutive wins over Delhi capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, but Hardik Pandya still needs to run through mid-table traffic with several other teams in a similar position.
The Mumbai Indians were present with an execution on a tricky pitch on a difficult pitch with their plan, on which they exactly separated the explosive batting style of SRH.
The surface, an unwanted one for the wankhed, folded the ball for the spin and the catch -moved the ball for the seamors that took out the fight with the SRH batsmen.
But such an approach against Spin-Havi CSK will not be the right way and has the ability to backfire. Noor Ahmed has thrown in CSK colors with 12 wickets in seven matches, including his three wickets against MI before this season, while five -time winners have Ravichandran Ashwin (5 wickets) and Ravindra Jadeja (4) also have two experienced ambush.
Mi, however, will still be given its current look despite losing the upper hand to CSK in its season-opener in Chepuk.
Rohit Sharma has not yet made a big score, but his fast start against SRH inspired MI as per his need. Tilak Verma has been on a role and is therefore Suryakumar Yadav, which contributed to Ryan Recylon on top and Will Jacks’ all-round show fuel MI for his victory.
MI will be pleased with how his bowling department is getting his rhythm with Trent Balt, causing a lot of trouble with his correct execution of Yorkers in recent outings, and Jasprit Bumrah also detected his length in the competition against SRH.
Pandya has swam well through his roles as a bowler and batsman, but he will continue to rely on Naman Dhir for some aggressive batting in the death overs.
Karna Sharma faced a finger -finger while fielding against SRH and seeing the lack of turnaround between matches, he is worried about an injury.
From his side, there are no indications yet that CSK has been able to end his troubles of four consecutive defeats with a five -wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants.
But MS Dhoni’s return to Wankhedi – among these teams, one should move towards the venue – for many battles.
There was a difference between Dhoni MI and CSK, when both these teams collided here in 2024, with four-wins with three sixes from 20 Pandya.
Dhoni’s return as a full-time skipper for the remaining time of the season and CSK got “dynamics” with his bowling line-up, a positive sign for the old Warhors, who contributes with batting in the over of death, and manages his knee injury among all this.
CSK has added former MI player Developed Brevis, but it remains to be seen whether the South African batsman, as well as the young Mumbai recruitment, will slide to play in Ayush Mestor, XI immediately gave limited knowledge of situations and pitches here.
