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

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, MI Playing 11 vs CSK (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 33, MI vs CSK. In the 33rd match of Indian Premier League 2022, Mumbai Indians (MI) will play against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (21st April, 7:30 pm). Rohit Sharma will lead the MI side while Ravindra Jadeja will be leading CSK in the exciting fixture of IPL 2022.

DC vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction

Mumbai Indians are the only team this season who are eluded of a win. The 5-time IPL champions have played 6 matches and lost all of them. One more loss will result in early elimination from the playoffs race. Skipper Rohit Sharma is completely out of touch and his bowlers including pacer Jasprit Bumrah have been under the pump in almost every game.

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.

For Mumbai Indians, big names like Kieron Pollard, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishan Kishan have failed miserably. Dewald Brevis from the last two games, and the evergreen Suryakumar Yadav have been the only positives for a struggling Mumbai Indians outfit so far.

Record IPL champions Mumbai Indians occupy the last 10th place in the points table as the only team without registering a single point. Their net run-rate reads –1.048, and only a miracle can take them through to the playoffs now, with eight out of eight wins needed.

MI suffered an 18-run loss in their last fixture against Lucknow Super Giants. Their bowling was all over the place yet again, barring Jasprit Bumrah as they conceded as much as 199/4, with LSG skipper KL Rahul scoring a magnificent century for Lucknow. Chasing the target, MI openers failed yet again while Proteas star Dewald Brevis continued to impress with his strokeplay, smashing 31 off 13.

Suryakumar Yadav scored 37 off 27, while Kieron Pollard (25 off 14) and Jaydev Unadkat (14 off 6) kept MI’s hopes alive but MI eventually fell short. Changes aplenty are expected for Mumbai Indians. We might see Aussie pacer Riley Meredith getting a nod ahead of England pacer Tymal Mills in this game. Also, there is a chance for spinner Mayank Markande to make a return to MI’s XI after 4 years at the expense of Murugan Ashwin who has been good in bits and pieces.

Fabian Allen coming into the side has added to its depth and he would need to fire all cylinders along with out of form Kieron Pollard in this game.  Tilak Varma and Jaydev Unadkat will have to get early wickets as the Chennai Super Kings have a strong batting line-up. The side would however be worried about the form of other bowlers who have failed to trouble the opposition batsmen so far.

Jasprit Bumrah, Murugan Ashwin, and Tymal Mills have leaked runs and the side would need them to deliver in this do-or-die game. Fabian Allen will have to bowl good spells in the middle overs for the side to overcome the challenge thrown at them by the CSK batsmen.

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

Rohit Sharma (C)

Rohit Sharma is a right-handed batter and a right-arm orthodox spinner. He played for the now-defunct Deccan Chargers from IPL 2008 to 2010 before joining the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2011 auction. He has since gone on to become Mumbai Indians captain, winning 5 IPL Titles and 2 Champions League titles at the helm.

He is newly appointed India’s current all-format captain. He has scored only 114 runs playing all 6 games averaging only 19 in IPL 2022 but needs to fire in the upcoming games if Mumbai Indians need to keep their hopes to qualify for playoffs alive.

Ishan Kishan (wk)

Ishan Kishan is a left-handed batter and a wicketkeeper. He played for the Gujarat Lions from 2016-to 2017 before being bought by the Mumbai Indians, in IPL 2018. He’s been a prolific run-getter through his 3 years with MI which prompted Mumbai Indians to make their highest bid yet in IPL 2022 auctions (INR 15.25 Crores) to bring him back.

He’s becoming a regular in the Indian team white-ball set-up. Even though he had a poor outing in 2021, he was terrific for Mumbai Indians in 2020. He has scored 191 runs in 6 games averaging 38.2 including 2 fifties and is MI’s 2nd highest run-getter so far this season. He must score consistently in the next few games.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav miss the first two matches of the IPL 2022 due to a hairline fracture in his thumb, but he returned with a bang, scoring back-to-back half-centuries.

He hit a counter-punching 37-ball unbeaten 68, studded with 5 boundaries and 6 sixes, as Mumbai came back to score a total of 151 for 6 against RCB after scoring 52 against Kolkata Knight Riders. He has scored 200 runs in only 4 games at a strike rate of 153.84 averaging an impressive 66.67. He has been the dependable man for Mumbai this season and the franchise has high hopes that he will deliver in the next games.

Tilak Verma

Tilak Verma is a left-handed batter and a right-arm off-break bowler. MI is his first franchise. He is known for his clean striking at the death.  Tilak Verma played a fast-paced inning of 61 runs in 33 balls in the match against Rajasthan Royals. Earlier, in his debut match against Delhi, he played a short cameo of 22 runs in 15 balls.

He has impressed everyone with his batting. Tilak Verma has scored 183 runs in 6 IPL 2022 games averaging 36.6 at a strike rate of 147.58. He is MI’s 3rd highest run-getter after Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan.

Dewald Brevis

Only 18 years of age, Protea batter Dewald Brevis was paid a handsome Rs 3 crore by Mumbai Indians to have the South African in their corner following high-voltage bidding. He finished the U19 World Cup 2022 tournament as the highest run-scorer, amassing 506 runs in six games, including two hundred and three half-centuries.

He has scored 117 runs in 4 IPL 2022 games with a highest of 49, averaging 29.25 at an impressive strike rate of 172.05 in his debut IPL season.

Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard is a right-handed batter and right-arm medium pacer. In the IPL, he has played only for the Mumbai Indians, since Mumbai Indians picked him up in 2010.

In other leagues, he’s represented the Barbados Tridents, Adelaide Strikers, Dhaka Dynamites, Melbourne Renegades, and the Trinbago Knight Riders. He has been lethal for us with the bat, ball, and on the field. A true all-rounder, he is now the captain of the West Indies white-ball team. In IPL 2022, he has been disappointing amassing only 82 runs averaging only 16.4 besides picking a wicket.

Fabian Allen

During the IPL auction in 2022, the franchise selected left-arm orthodox spinner Fabian Allen for Rs. 75 lakh. Mumbai Indians are his third IPL team as he previously represented Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings.

He largely warmed the benches for both sides with only four matches under his belt, all of which came in IPL 2021. However, the 26-year-old is an integral part of West Indies’ limited-overs squad having played 20 ODIs and 34 T20Is. He scored 8 runs and had figures of 1/46 against Lucknow Super Giants.

Jaydev Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat is a left-arm fast bowler. He has played for the Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Super Giants, and Royal Challengers Bangalore before coming to the Mumbai Indians. He is adept at bowling variations. He has picked 4 scalps in 3 games averaging 26.5 and conceded runs at an economy of 8.83.

Murugan Ashwin

Ahead of the 15th season of the IPL, Murugan Ashwin was picked up by MI for 1.6 crores. There is an element of surprise in his bowling and batters need to be watchful while trying to be aggressive against him. He has picked up 6 scalps in as many games averaging a decent 27.33 and has conceded runs at an economy rate of 7.8. Mayank Markande may replace him in the playing XI. Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar is also in the reckoning.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is a right-arm fast bowler. He has been with the Mumbai Indians right from the outset as MI snapped him up as a youngster in 2018. He has become the spearhead of MI’s bowling attack, and the go-to for the captain when he needs a wicket.

He has become one of the world’s premier pacers in due course. He was the player of the match in the 2019 IPL final, almost single-handedly winning that game for MI. He has picked 4 scalps in 6 games averaging a high of 42.25 so far in IPL 2022.

Riley Meredith

Riley Meredith, the Australia pacer made his T20 debut against New Zealand in 2021 and debuted in the IPL 2021 after the Punjab Kings won the bidding war, eventually acquiring the Aussie pacer for INR 8 Cr. He picked 4 scalps in 5 IPL games, but opted out of the second phase of IPL 2021 held in UAE.

Ahead of the 15th IPL 2022 season, he was snapped up by MI for 1 crore and may be given a chance against Chennai in place of pacer Tymal Mills, as MI will be desperate for a win.
