Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (wk), Aravelly Avanish (wk), Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube
On the eve of the 2024 Indian Premier League launch, Mumbai and Chennai will once again face off for an iconic matchup that marks this historic event. These cities represent Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu respectively and serve as economic powerhouses with each city home to their respective film industries as well as being iconic IPL rivalries; CSK have won four championships while Mumbai have claimed five.
CSK are hoping for an ideal start to the season, featuring an all-star roster. Unbeaten at home and unblemished on the road so far this campaign, they would look to do well here and surpass Mumbai in terms of total trophies won in this competition history.
Dhoni has shown no sign of slowing down and his experience will be key in this critical game for CSK. Furthermore, his tactical nous will be essential if they wish to overcome their poor away form.
CSK batsmen have shown their quality despite losing to Delhi recently, and will prove difficult for any visitors. Opening batsman Matthew Hayden made 46-ball 81 while Suresh Raina (53 runs in 50 balls) scored fifty. Plus their skipper cameo of 16 balls was enough for a total score of 208 at Chepauk.
CSK will aim to bolster their spin attack, which has struggled thus far this campaign. Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar will serve as key figures for them in bowling action.
Chepauk’s pitch has been somewhat inconsistent early this season, producing only two 170-plus totals from three games played so far. Still, spinners should find some turn and grip.
CSK are an experienced side that should not experience much difficulty on the road, especially in front of their home fans. CSK have won both matches against MI at Wankhede Stadium recently and will hope to improve on their dismal away record in this game. MS Dhoni of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has been in impressive form throughout this season and will look to add another chapter to his IPL legacy with a win against the reigning IPL champions, Rajasthan Royals. Dhoni will be supported by an outstanding bench including Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane as they should provide plenty of options for Dhoni against Rajasthan Royals’ reigning IPL champs in an important match against them. Additionally Sameer Rizvi who has shown his ability in short stints with CSK this season will also add further depth.
Final Score
Rohit Sharma scored an innings for Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede stadium during their IPL match, yet CSK ultimately prevailed by 20 runs to earn their first away victory of the season. Matheesha Pathirana’s outstanding bowling dismantled Mumbai’s batting order while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube both reached fifties to reach 206/4 and MS Dhoni’s six sixes at the end capped off their success!
Pathirana dismissed Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav within seconds, with Kishan caught by Shardul Thakur at midwicket and Yadav bowled for four-ball duck off just four deliveries by him – both off one ball! Thereafter Mohammad Nabi and Gerald Coetzee received wickets off consecutive deliveries as well.
CSK maintained their dominance of the innings in the powerplay over, and continued their run-scoring feats through Mitchell. A full ball on the pads beat Nabi’s heave; then another slow delivery on pads is cut through to third man boundary by Mitchell for two singles off one over.
Rohit hit an aggressive full toss on his pads that Rohit pushed for two off the first ball, before flicking an offside short ball towards off side for another run. When a dot ball came along he attempted a heave over long on but missed and it ended up at deep backward point for another single run.
An additional dot ball is successfully defended off of the second ball before an offensive toss on the pads is hit down the field for a double. Two singles follow from this over.
Rohit then lofts a full toss over deep square leg for four. His over concludes with a dot ball.
After 12 overs, both teams are level at 185/4. The 13th over will be pivotal to determine who gets ahead; Chennai batsmen need to score more runs in remaining overs than their Mumbai counterparts and this would result in a tight contest. CSK should take advantage of their home ground advantage and take full advantage of home field advantage by taking advantage of home advantage in this match-up. A win will keep their hopes alive of reaching the semi-finals while also giving a much-needed confidence boost; currently they sit third out of five matches won. Delhi Capitals have an outside chance at overtaking them in the points table, but that will require winning all remaining matches and the final match against Rajasthan Royals to secure top two finish and qualify for Champions League Twenty20 tournament – it will not be easy though!
