The 'El-Classico' clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is considered to be the biggest match in the tournament because of the competitiveness between these sides.

The matches held in the past have been a huge hit and it won't be a surprise if the upcoming encounter turns out to another blockbuster in the long historical rivalry between these franchises.

The major part in these clashes are played by the batters who score runs under tremendous pressure and that too at crunch situations. Therefore, we have selected two batters from each team who could score the highest in this game.

Mumbai Indians:

1. Suryakumar Yadav

One of the most prolific batters in the Indian cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav is known to score big in the T20 games. Also known as 'SKY', Surya has the potential to hit sixes at will and it won't be a problem for him to do it here in this match as well. With 313 runs in 15 matches against CSK, the right-hander could easily emerge as the highest run-getters.

2. Tilak Varma

One of the finds of the last season, MI's Tilak Varma has impressed one and all with his striking abilities. Moreover, even in this season, he thumped an outstanding 84 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the losing cause. Tilak is considered to be the saviour of Mumbai and it will interesting to see if he comes up good for the blue team.

Chennai Super Kings:

1. Moeen Ali

Chennai Super Kings' left-handed batter Moeen Ali has been their go-to man both with the ball and bat. The Englishmen has a powerful stroke making ability that could come in handy in the small sized grounds especially Wankhede where there is enough true bounce to hit with the flow. Along with that, Ali has been extremely good against both spin and pace which it won't be a problem for him to accelerate at the right time. 

2. Ruturaj Gaikwad

CSK's classy opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in some form with the bat at the top and it has been some performance for the Maharashtra player who would be playing at the ground close to his home. Gaikwad is the second-highest run-scorer in the this edition so far with 149 in two innings as he has managed half-centuries in both of them.
