Mumbai Indians Form and Team news:
After registering a much-needed win against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians are unlikely to make too many changes in the playing XI for the match against an in-form opposition like Chennai Super Kings.
The form of wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock—who scored a match-winning 70 in the previous match—will remain a cause of concern for the team management as, despite that innings, the South Africa international has only managed to score 117 runs in five innings in the IPL 2021.
Other than De Kock, the form of pacer Jasprit Bumrah will also worry the coaching staff as the star pacer has only managed to claim five wickets in the first six matches at a disappointing strike-rate of 27.70.
It is because of this reason, the management decided to include pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile to strengthen the fast-bowling department in the match against the Royals.
In the batting department, Mumbai will be relying on the likes of captain Rohit Sharma, De Kock, young Suryakumar Yadav along explosive all-rounder Hardik Pandya to score the bulk of the runs.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacer Boult, Bumrah and leg-spinner Rahul Chahar to produce timely breakthroughs.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur along with the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja, Ali to produce timely breakthroughs.
