Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians Captain): Yeah, we would have bowled as well. But it is a good pitch to bat on, so we will look to put runs on the board. Yeah, that is the only option left for us now. To be honest, we are doing well. We have one injury. I won't call it an injury rather I will call it a precautionary. Jofra Archer is not playing this game. The rest of the team is same. We are back here at Wankhede after a while. The crowd are amazing here. We will look to do well.
MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings Captain): We will bowl first. I think one of the most memorable venues. Not only because of the 2011 World Cup venue but also 2007 when we won and we came back and the kind of reception we got from Mumbai was fantastic. Overall it is a fantastic place to play cricket also the wickets are generally very good. It has plenty of pace and bounce so you can play your shots.
Toss update
Chennai Super Kings opt to bowl
Pitch Report (Ian Bishop): The square boundaries are 63 metres and 67 metres respectively from one end. The shortest boundary is at the fine leg/third man region worth 54 metres. The average score here in the 2022 IPL was about 167. Teams would be hoping of a bigger score on this size of a ground. CSK were bowled out for 97 here last year. It is a well grassed surface all the way through. The new ball might do just a little bit something.

6:40 PM | Toss coming up in 20 minutes from now.
Head to Head
We have seen some nail-biters over the years between the five-time champions, MI and four time champions, CSK and over the years they have played 34 games between them. Mumbai have an upper hand in this battle though as they have won 20 games while CSK have won 14 high of these high-octane games. Let's see who wins the battle of supremacy this time around..
Hello and a very warm welcome, folks! This is the Live Blog of the biggest game of the IPL, the El-Clasico as MI go up against their arch rivals CSK at their den, Wankhede Stadium. It will be a sea of blue today cheering for their Paltan but never discount the force of Thala, the CSK captain- MS Dhoni and we are bound to see an electrifying atmosphere at the Wankhede. MI have got off to a losing start while CSK have lost one and won one, so expect this to be another enticing contest with both teams itching to get a win under the belt.
