Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, CSK Playing 11 vs MI (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 33, MI vs CSK.

DC vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are two of the most successful teams in IPL history, however, this season has been nothing but a nightmare for the two teams. MI is yet to get going on the points table, on the other hand, CSK has managed only a solitary win from 6 games so far. Both teams are in desperate need of a win.

CSK is coming off a three-wicket defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in a closely contested battle. Batting first, CSK posted 169/5 on the back of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 73 off 48 and a 31-ball 46 by Ambati Rayudu. CSK had reduced the Hardik Pandya-less side to 48/4 in eight overs. However, they did not have answers to David Miller’s (94* off 51) and Rashid Khan’s (40 off 21) onslaught as they lost the game on the penultimate ball.

CSK is desperately missing the services of their most expensive buy of this season pacer Deepak Chahar. Deepak Chahar won’t be available for the entire IPL 2022 season due to a back injury and this news has dented CSK’s bowling attack for good. Ravindra Jadeja-led CSK needs to find a perfect combination in the bowling unit if they want to go deep in the tournament.

England spin all-rounder Moeen Ali’s form is a big concern. Moeen Ali has been ineffective throughout the season. CSK spent 8 Crores in retaining the English all-rounder, but Moeen Ali is yet to reap dividends. Mitchell Santner is another spin bowling all-rounder in the ranks and a lackluster form of Moeen Ali might tempt the team management to go for Mitchell Santner.

England pacer Chris Jordan went for plenty in the last game. He was the main culprit in CSK’s defeat against GT in the last game. If Adam Milne is fit to feature, the Kiwi express pacer might replace the Englishman in the playing eleven. Otherwise, Proteas pacer Dwaine Pretorius, who didn’t do anything wrong to face the ax from the eleven for Chris Jordan might replace the latter.

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, CSK Playing 11 vs MI (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 33, MI vs CSK

Robin Uthappa

Robin Uthappa has played for various franchises since IPL 2008. Last season, the right-handed batsman scored 115 runs in 4 games for the Chennai Super Kings team with 1 fifty. He has scored 197 runs so far in 6 IPL 2022 games averaging a decent 32.83 at an impressive strike rate of 152.71 including 2 fifties.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad had a stellar season last year. He finished the tournament as the highest run-getter (Orange Cap winner). In 16 matches, he managed to score 635 runs at an average of 45.36 and a strike rate of close to 140.

He returned to form against Gujarat, scoring 73 runs after another disappointing start to his IPL 2022 campaign. He has amassed only 108 runs averaging a mere 18 but his return to form will increase CSK fans’ hopes.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali has been one of the best performers for the yellow army in 15 matches, Moeen Ali picked 6 wickets and made 357 runs with the highest score of 58 at a strike rate of 137.30 and hit 19 sixes and 31 fours for the MS Dhoni-led team in IPL 2021. Moeen Ali has scored 87 runs so far in IPL 2022 averaging only 17.4 and is yet to pick a scalp.

Ambati Rayudu

CSK bought the right-handed batsman during the auction. Ambati Rayudu played for CSK in the last season too. He scored 257 runs in 13 innings with 2 fifties. Ambati Rayudu has scored 128 runs in 5 innings averaging 25.6 in IPL 2022 but will try to improve upon his strike rate-110.34 so far this season.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja, an all-rounder, will lead the side as he has been handed over the captaincy for IPL 2022. Last season, Ravindra Jadeja was in fabulous form. He scored 227 runs in 12 innings and also picked 13 wickets. He will be a crucial player for the team again.

Ravindra Jadeja is yet to fire this season. He has picked 5 scalps in 6 IPL 2022 games averaging 33 besides scoring 88 runs averaging 22 with the bat.

Shivam Dube

A powerful middle-order batter and a handy medium pacer, Shivam Dube was bought by CSK for INR 4 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction. His base price was 50 lakhs. Shivam Dube is Chennai Super Kings leading run-scorers with 226 runs in 6 games so far averaging 45.2 including 2 fifties at a strike rate of 168.65. He is however wicketless so far in IPL 2022.

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni, who relinquished captaincy before his team’s opening fixture against KKR, played a phenomenal knock of unbeaten 50 from 38 balls and was involved in a 70-run stand with skipper Ravindra Jadeja. He has scored 92 runs at a decent average of 46 so far in 6 IPL 2022 games.

MS Dhoni has struggled with the bat, scoring a combined total of 314 runs from 30 matches in the last two editions-IPL 2020 and IPL 2021. If his tally of 200 runs in IPL 2020 was disappointing, the following year was even worse as MS Dhoni aggregated only 114 runs.

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo might be another all-rounder for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022. Dwayne Bravo was picked during the auction for Rs. 4.4 crores. In the last few seasons, Dwayne Bravo has played for Chennai Super Kings. Last season, he picked 14 wickets in 11 games for the team before IPL 2022.

Dwayne Bravo broke Lasith Malinga’s record for most wickets in the history of IPL after picking a solitary scalp against Lucknow. He had valiant figures of 3/20 in CSK’s season-opening loss to KKR in Mumbai. He is CSK’s leading wicket-taker this season so far with 10 scalps in 6 games averaging 18.1.

Mahesh Theekshana

Mahesh Theekshana is the latest mystery spinner on the block. He has been effective in powerplays picking up 16 wickets in 25 T20 innings at an outstanding economy of 6.52. He went wicketless in his debut game but then has picked 6 wickets including a 4/33 in the next two games. He averages 14.66 with the ball and has maintained an economy rate of 7.33 and is CSK’s 2nd highest wicket-taker this season after Dwayne Bravo.

Dwaine Pretorious

Dwaine Pretorious, the multi-dimensional cricketer has played 22 T20Is for South Africa and has scored 170 runs at a strike rate of 161.9. He has also picked 23 wickets at an average of 19.48. Dwaine Pretorius has maintained an economy rate of 7.77.

He has been an impactful performer for the Proteas but is playing the IPL for the first time. He has picked up 4 wickets so far in IPL 2022 averaging 15.25 and is the 4th best wicket-taker for CSK so far this season besides scoring 8 runs.

Mukesh Choudhary

Mukesh Choudhary has registered 4 scalps to his name from 5 IPL 2022 outings and would be looking to create an impression in the wickets tally from hereon. Leading wicket-taker for Maharashtra in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22, Mukesh Choudhary was bought by Chennai Super Kings for his base price of INR 20 lakhs at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.
