The trio will play a crucial role as MI look to start off their IPL 2021 Phase 2 campaign with a win against CSK. MI already have an upper hand against the yellow army having defeated them in the previous fixture. However, CSK are three times champion and will not bow down with a fight.
Rohit Sharma, who once again proved himself with the bat, smashing his first century in England, will be ready for the upcoming challenge. Jasprit Bumrah has been a consistent performer and he will come all guns blazing and ace his yorkers. SuryaKumar Yadav will look to continue his red-hot form after he was rewarded with a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad. He will look to seal the No.4 place with consistent performers.
