MI vs CSK Toss Factor
The wicket at the Wankehede Cricket Stadium has already seen three games in IPL 2024. In the first match, the wicket favoured the seam bowlers, but as the tournament progressed, Wankhede presented its traditional flat batting decks. Historically, this venue has favoured the chasing teams, and the captains will be inclined to field first after winning the toss.
Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss
- Hardik Pandya will believe in his strong and deep batting line-up. He will back his team’s batting strength and look to field first if MI wins the coin flip. If MI is chasing, then Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav will be very important picks in the fantasy XI, especially in their current form.
- Jaspirt Bumrah has been the commander-in-chief of the MI bowling attack. With five wickets in his last game, Bumrah has attained great form and will be a must-choice for the fantasy contests. Besides Bumrah, Akash Madhwal could also be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests.
Scenario: If Chennai Super Kings win the toss
- Much like Hardik, Ruturaj Gaikwad might also look to field first if he calls correctly in the coin flip. In the chase, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube will be the important players for CSK on this deck.
- Mustafizur Rahman is currently the highest wicket-taker for CSK in the tournament. However, he has gone through a bit of a lean phase after the tournament opener. But Rahman will bowl in the difficult phases, and with the variety that he has, he will have a good chance of picking up wickets and giving you great rewards.
- Besides Rahman, you can also opt to keep Maheesh Theekshana and Deepak Chahar in your team. As new ball could be the only time when the bowlers will get a bit of help from the deck.
MI vs CSK Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the match
Suryakumar Yadav (MI)
After a quiet innings on his return, Suryakumar roared back to form in the previous game. SKY has a good record at the Wankhede and will be a crucial choice as the C or VC in this game.
Jasprit Bumrah (MI)
In the previous game against RCB, Bumrah looked like the only bowler who got a little bit of help from the deck with the new ball. He has the ability to pick up wickets at any stage of the game and will be a very important choice as the C or VC.
Scenario: If Chennai Super Kings win the match
Rachin Ravindra (CSK)
The Kiwi opener promised a lot with his knock in the tournament opener against RCB. However, Rachin Ravindra has not delivered upto expectations in the following games. But he might enjoy batting on the Wankhede wicket and emerge as a crucial point multiplier in the match.
Ravindra Jadeja (CSK)
The Indian all-rounder looked in good rhythm with the ball in the last match. Jadeja can be crucial to CSK’s chances in this game with both the bat and the ball. If you are backing CSK to win this game, then Jadeja could be a great choice.
MI vs CSK High Risk, High Reward
Hardik Pandya (MI)
The newly appointed MI-skipper is having a quiet time in IPL 2024. However, he has looked good with the bat in the last couple of matches. If the top-order of MI fails, then Hardik could be your decisive C or VC choice for the game.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)
The new CSK skipper is having a hot and cold tournament with the bat so far. Although Ruturaj played a steady knock in the last match, his inconsistent form makes him a risky choice as the C or VC for the match.
MI vs CSK Stay Aways
Tim David (MI)
The big-hitter has looked good whenever he has come out to bat in IPL 2024. But given the nature of the wicket, it seems like Tim David comes too low down the order to impact the fantasy contests of the match.
Sameer Rizvi (CSK)
This young Indian batter has so far played a small blitz in one of the games. If Rizvi becomes a part of the playing XI in this game, then you can avoid him as a C or VC, as he would be batting too low down the order in all probabilities.
