CSK vs MI Live: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will depend on their strong spin attack and the advantageous conditions at Chepauk as they face the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their IPL season opener on Sunday. The five-time champions have enhanced their spin department with the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Shreyas Gopal, and Deepak Hooda, which complements the seasoned Ravindra Jadeja. This spin-centric approach aligns well with the spin-friendly Chepauk pitch and could be pivotal in their matchup against MI.
Attention will be focused on MS Dhoni, who has maintained a long-standing relationship with CSK since the tournament began. The team is also confronted with a selection challenge for the opening position, as Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway compete to partner skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. The middle order is strengthened by the presence of Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, and Dhoni himself.
Conversely, the Mumbai Indians are facing notable absences, including Jasprit Bumrah, who is sidelined due to a back injury, and regular captain Hardik Pandya, who is serving a one-match suspension. Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of the India T20I team, will lead MI in their opening match. Although Ishan Kishan’s exit creates a gap at the top of the order, Ryan Rickelton may provide additional strength alongside Rohit Sharma.
CSK has had the upper hand in recent matchups against MI, winning four out of the last five encounters. Given the significance of spin in this context, CSK appears to have the advantage on their home ground.
