Hello, one and all, welcome to our Live Coverage of today's #IPL match.
It is a blockbuster Saturday evening in Delhi where two of the most successful teams go against each other.
It is Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians
Background
IPL 2021: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday, 1 May 2021 in IPL. These are the two of the most successful teams in the history of IPL. After having a forgetful season last year, Chennai came back with a bang this year. 2020 was the first time CSK couldn't make it to the playoffs. This year they have started immensely well as they have taken the top spot in the IPL points table.
CSK has won 5 out of the 6 matches played so far in the IPL this year. MI, on the other hand, looked shaky in the beginning but the last few matches have been good for them. They have won 3 out of the 6 matches played so far. A win today won't change their position on the points table, but will definitely boost the team's morale going ahead in the tournament.
This is a heavy-weight clash as CSK has won 3 IP trophies while MI has won 5 IPL trophies. The head-to-head record does not leave a lot of room for discussion but MI still has an edge over CSK. Out of the 30 matches played so far, MI has won 18 matches while CSK has won 12.
The pitch might favor the batsmen and will get better as the game progresses, thus the captain who wins the toss might want to field first.
Probable Playing XI:
Mumbai Indians (MI): Quinton de Kock (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Jayant Yadav, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult
Chennai Super Kings (CSK): Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi/Imran Tahir
