MI vs CSK 2024, IPL Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings IPL Match Today: It will be a clash of the titans at Wankhede Stadium, when Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match no 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday.

Two of IPL’s most successful teams with five titles each, both sides are witnessing a tectonic shift of leadership change with Hardik Pandya taking over the mantle from Rohit Sharma at MI and Ruturaj Gaikwad succeeding Dhoni at CSK, but there is nothing that suggests their intense rivalry would expect any such shift.

Playing XI predictions for the MI vs CSK IPL 2024 match

MI predicted XI for CSK: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Madhwal

Impact Subs: Piyush Chawla and Nehal Wadhera

MI player to watch out for: MI have found their footing after a jittery start. Their batters have done well in the last two outings and Suryakumar Yadav’s 17-ball fifty against RCB provides an ominous sign to CSK bowlers, who have shown mastery on slow, turning pitches at the Chepauk but remain untested on flat, batting-friendly surfaces.

CSK predicted XI for MI: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman.

Impact Subs: Maheesh Theekshana and Sameer Rizvi

CSK player to watch out for: A lot will be riding on Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande for CSK, who both return to their home ground, but Mustafizur Rahman (9 wickets) and the wily Jadeja would be the ones to watch out for given their recent exploits.
