Team News
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians have a tried and tested team combination. Almost all names in that Playing XI are certain. For a while, the No. 4 spot was up for grabs, but even that puzzle seems to have been solved with Ishan Kishan claiming it. Depending on the surface, MI might opt for a fast bowler in Mitchell McClenaghan or fall back on the off spin of Jayant Yadav.
Chennai Super Kings
Throughout the tournament, CSK’s batting has struggled against Mumbai Indians. Hence, it wouldn’t be a bad ploy to replace back Shardul Thakur with Murali Vijay just to give their batting an added layer. Thakur bowled just one over in Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals which may raise questions regarding his fitness.
