IPL 2021: CSK vs MI- 3 MI Players Who Can Be The Man Of The Match

Kieron Pollard:

Kieron Pollard turned out to be one of the game-changers for the Mumbai Indians in the first phase of the IPL and he smacked 87 off 34 balls against the same opponent. He hit eight sixes and six fours in the battle and made sure that his team got over the line in a tough chase of 219.

Mumbai Indians will be happy that they have the services of the West Indies captain who is one of the fearsome strikers of the cricket ball. Pollard will be keen to get his A-game against CSK especially and he has been in good form in the recently concluded CPL 2021.

Quinton De Kock:

The South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton De Kock likes the ball coming onto the bat and he scored loads of runs in the UAE in the previous edition. He struggled to find his form in the spinning wickets in India but seemed to get better when the wickets changed. The left-hander will be one of the challenges for the CSK bowlers as well.

De Kock scored 155 runs in the first phase of the IPL 2021 at an average of 31 and he excelled at times with failures in most of the innings. He will need to convert his starts into a big score this time and this will be the right scenario for him to show his skills.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the world at the moment and he showed his class in the recently concluded red-ball series against England. He finished as the highest wicket-taker for India in the four tests and picked up 18 wickets. Bumrah has been one of the match-winners for the Mumbai Indians and has bowled splendidly in this season as well.

The right-arm quick was superb in the previous edition in UAE and he enjoyed the conditions really well. He used the pace of the wickets to his advantage and executed the yorkers to perfection. He will be one of the candidates for the man of the match in the first game against CSK and he relishes the challenge against big teams.
