🏏IPL 2025,M 38 CSK vs MI on Apr20th.7.30PM @Wankhede Stadium,Mumbai🏏 - Page 4

Vishal reports from the ground: "Evening from the W! It's a Super Sunday and it's the biggest IPL rivalry that's come to South Bombay. There's an unusual rush in the local trains, there are jams brewing outside the ground and a massive number of yellow jerseys trying to find their way in. It's very humid, as it usually is this time of the year, but that's not going to stop the fans from filling up the stands; it's a sell out game! The question is, how many of those t-shirts will be yellow. The usual suspects from both teams have started to take a look at the pitch - Santner, Fleming, Boult, SKY, Tilak, and Ashwin has now joined Bumrah near the strip. Bumrah is obviously marking his run up, but Ashwin is not. So looks like the spinner is going to sit out again. No signs of Karn Sharma, who had split his webbing against SRH and got some stitches, so there'll likely be a forced change for the hosts. And as of 6.42pm, consider MS Dhoni to have walked out to deafening noise, to get ready for the toss."

"Noor and Overton marking run ups as well, so we could rule out any surprise exclusions today from CSK," Vishal informs me. Meanwhile, in the first game of the season, RCB turned the tables on PBKS after going down to them less than 48 hours earlier.

Speaking of the conditions, today's match will be played on the same surface where MI almost chased down 222 against RCB, so we can expect big scores today. Against CSK, MI would have wanted that kind of a surface as opposed to the sugglish ones they used in the wins over KKR and SRH, as Vishal noted in his preview.

Ravi Shastri with his usual booming introduction to toss time. MI win the toss and bowl.

Waise bhi kon hitters hai CSK mein

No hopes for CSk

Let's see

MS Dhoni: We were looking to bowl first. The main reason is because dew has already started to set in. We are the bottom most team in the table, looking too far ahead will not help us, take one game at a time and keep pushing. We have to play bold cricket but at the same time the batters have to realise what your strengths are, same with the bowlers.

Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field

Hardik Pandya: We are gonna bowl first. It looks like a very good wicket. Same wicket we played against RCB. That gives us a chance to look at the wicket, identify our plans. It has a good covering of grass and will be a good batting wicket. Just executing our plans and keep doing what's working for us. That's exciting, we have not played to our potential and gives us an opportunity every game to play to our potential. The man behind me everyone knows how exciting when he comes, CSK v MI is always exciting. Same team.
