Mumbai Indians will be aiming to record their first victory of the season when they take on Chennai Super Kings on April 8 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Mumbai Indians suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their opening match of IPL 2023.
The MS Dhoni-led team, meanwhile, dropped their opening contest against the Gujarat Titans but rebounded admirably against the Lucknow Super Giants, moving them up to sixth place in the IPL 2023 points standings.
Despite this, two-time world champion Yusuf Pathan emphasised that Mumbai will be tough to defeat at home, even though Chennai is coming off a victory. The former cricketer also made the point that while Mumbai’s supporters will always support CSK captain MS Dhoni, they ultimately want MI to win by two points.
Mumbai fans will always want MS Dhoni to entertain them with his performance but hope that Mumbai Indians win the game. But as you can see, beating MI at home is challenging. At Wankhede Stadium, MI has prevailed seven times in the ten games between CSK and MI. According to the statistics, the Mumbai Indians will unquestionably win those two crucial points, Yusuf Pathan said in an interview with Star Sports.
It’s possible that Rohit Sharma will come out swinging: Mr. Moody
Former cricketer Tom Moody thinks that five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma might come out swinging to defeat CSK after losing their first game. The 57-year-old also discussed the fierce competition between the two franchises.
“In the 15 years of the IPL, CSK and MI have shared nine trophies. Therefore, there is a great deal of pride in what these two extraordinary teams accomplish and how they work. The competition between these two teams has been strong. It will also be a significant moment for MI captain Rohit Sharma because he is playing at home and may play aggressively tomorrow, according to Moody.
