3 MI Batsmen Who Have Scored The Most Runs In The El Classico Of Cricket:

Sachin Tendulkar: – 368

Sachin had a liking against the CSK bowlers and he batted really well against them particularly scoring 368 runs in 12 games at an average of 36.80.

Sachin had the highest score of 74 against in the EL Classico games which is superlative and the little master decided to part ways with IPL after the 2013 season. Sachin opened the innings for the Mumbai Indians from the inaugural edition and he is the only cricketer in history to score 100 international centuries.

Kieron Pollard: -607

Kieron Pollard is one of the biggest strikers of the cricket ball and he backs a big punch in T20 cricket especially with his long levers. He has been one of the instrumental players for the Mumbai Indians from the 2010 edition and ever since that he has been very consistent as well. The big West Indian turned out to be the difference between the sides in the recent fixture in the first phase of IPL 2021.

Pollard has scored 607 runs in the El Clasico games between Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings and he hasn’t changed his franchise yet. He is going to play a huge role in the upcoming resumption of IPL 2021 in the UAE. The right-hander is a natural six-hitter and is a huge asset in the side with his bowling abilities as well.

Rohit Sharma: – 693

Rohit Sharma has been one of the best timers of the cricket ball and has been a huge success in world cricket as an international opener in all formats. His IPL captaincy has been of the highest order and has already five titles for his franchise ever since taking over in 2013. He first played for the Mumbai Indians in the 2011 edition and has been a constant feature until now.

Rohit Sharma has scored the second-most runs in EL Classico games between Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings and he likes the challenge against big teams. He is also the highest run-scorer for the Mumbai Indians side in EL Clasico games with 693 runs so far and will be keen to add some more to the tally in the IPL game on Sunday.
