Match 12 of the Indian Premier League 2023 pits the Mumbai Indians against the Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. With no points thus far, Mi is now in last place. Only one game has been played by the Rohit Sharma-led squad, and they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, CSK is at the bottom of the table in sixth place after two games. MS Dhoni and company are now in sixth place after coming back from an initial loss to beat Lucknow Super Giants.
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl first. Swing and seam movement are prominent on the Wankhede pitch. While early movement is possible, in general IPL pitches are flat. Humidity and heat are in store for today.
The most striking moment of the game was when MS Dhoni met Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the toss. The Master Blaster is the mentor of the Mumbai Indians. MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar share a lovely bond. MS Dhoni has already mentioned many times in his career, that he started playing cricket looking at Sachin Tendulkar. On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar was the first person to mention MS Dhoni’s name as a captaincy option. He also revealed that Dhoni is the best captain he has played under. Sachin finally won the World Cup under captain MS Dhoni in 2011 at the Wankhede stadium.
Playing XI:
CSK: Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Shivam Dube, Dwaine Pretorius, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Sisanda Magala, Tushar Deshpande
MI: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Tristan Stubbs, Arshad Khan, Hrithik Shokeen, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff
