Mumbai Indians (MI) will clash against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The contest between two arch-rivals will be intriguing to watch for the watch. The decade-long rivalry have mostly ended in MI’s favour. However, with the absence of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah in the first game, CSK might have an upper hand on MI. Also, the game will be in Chennai, which is CSK’s home ground. So, the home conditions and the fans’ support will play a huge role in the tournament.
Here is the predicted XI for Mumbai Indians in the upcoming clash against CSK:
Top Order:

Will Jacks, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma are likely to be the top order of the Mumbai Indians against CSK. Jacks is the new addition to the team who proved his performance in the previous season while playing for RCB. This season, he will get a better team with a better set of bowlers so there is a high chance of him scoring well. Plus, Rohit and Tilak are in great form and they can hit many runs in the powerplays.
Middle Order

Suryakumar Yadav, Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, and Mitchell Santner might be the middle-order batters. Minz is likely to make a debut against CSK, which will be a great exposure for him. On the other hand, Santner might get to play his first game against his former team CSK, making the contest interesting.
Bowlers:

Trent Boult, Karn Sharma, Deepak Chahar and Reece Topley will be the bowlers of MI. Boult will lead the attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah while Chahar will play against his fromer team. The battle between the two teams will be super exciting to watch because MI have a few CSK players who might know the team’s weakness.
