The Indian Premier League has returned to the Wankhede Stadium, The clash of the heavyweights is back, as the two most successful teams of the tournament battle it out on Saturday in Mumbai. The Mumbai Indians will take on the Chennai Super Kings, 

The CSK team is likely to field an unchanged playing XI after securing their first win of the season against LSG. Sisanda Magala has joined the team and is available for selection, while Mukesh Chaudhary has been replaced by left-arm pacer Akash Singh.

The Mumbai Indians would look to regroup themselves as the fans return to their beloved stadium for the first time since 2019. The heartbreaking loss against RCB in their first match of the season could see them make a few tweaks in the playing XI, with Rohit Sharma’s failure at the top being a big concern for the Mumbai Indians.

Jasprit Bumrah has made way for Sandeep Warrier, while Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson has been replaced by his fellow countryman Riley Meredith. The incoming duo will be hoping to support Jofra Archer in the seam attack.

The Mumbai Indians have played only one match in the ongoing season, where they were second-best to arch-rivals, Royal Challengers Bangalore. The one ray of hope in that encounter was young batsman Tilak Verma, who helped MI post a quality total of 171 runs, despite losing early wickets. However, their opponents chased the total with ease, within 17 overs.

Rohit Sharma will be even more disappointed with his bowlers, as they appeared clueless against the onslaught of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. His new-ball bowlers, Jason Behrendorff and Jofra Archer, were taken for plenty of runs, and both remained wicketless.

Piyush Chawla reined in the runs, but he too went wicketless, as the Mumbai Indians managed to get just two wickets through Cameroon Green and Arshad Khan. The Mumbai Indians appear to be struggling in finding the right combination at the moment.

On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings have played two matches. They suffered a defeat against the Gujarat Giants in the opening match of the season. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajvardhan Hangargekar starred, despite the loss. A return to Chepauk saw Dhoni & Co. collect their first points of the season. Impact substitute Tushar Deshpande came up with the goods at the death after Moeen Ali provided crucial breakthroughs upfront.

The Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings have faced each other 34 times in IPL history, with the record reading 20-14 in favor of the Mumbai Indians. runs. With the head-to-head record in favor of the home team and the encounter being played at the Wankhede, the Mumbai Indians are favorites to clinch the win.After a disappointing loss, they would look forward to impressing their fans by beating their arch-rivals in CSK.
