IPL 2021: What could be Chennai Super Kings’ Playing XI against Mumbai Indians?
Openers: Ruturaj Gaikwad & Robin Uthappa, No 3: Moeen Ali, No 4: Suresh Raina, No 5: Ambati Rayudu, No 6: Ravindra Jadeja, No 7: MS Dhoni (c & wk), No 8: Shardul Thakur, No 9: Deepak Chahar, No 10: Lungi Ngidi, No 11: J Hazlewood
Robin Uthappa- 1st choice opener
Robin Uthappa, who missed out on an opportunity to feature in the playing XI for CSK in the India leg of IPL 2021, can open with Gaikwad. He has amassed over 2000 runs as an opener in the Indian Premier League. Thus, he can be a like-to-like replacement for Faf du Plessis.

CSK vs MI LIVE: Ambati Rayudu- 2nd choice
Ambati Rayudu can open for CSK in absence of Faf du Plessis in IPL 2021 Phase 2. He has previously played as an opener. He had scored 126 runs in the first 7 matches and needs to pull up his shocks to fill the void. He has smashed as many as 20 half-centuries and a hundred in his IPL career. Thus, he can use the opportunity to provide a decent start for the yellow army. He has played as an opening batsman on 15 occasions and scored 431 runs including his lone century.
