After losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore in a humiliating way in the first game of IPL 2023, the Mumbai Indians will want to beat Chennai Super Kings on April 8 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to get their first win of the season. On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led team lost their opening game to the Gujarat Titans. However, they won their second game against the Lucknow Super Giants and are now sixth in the IPL 2023 points table.
Yusuf Pathan, a two-time world champion, pointed out that even though Chennai is coming in after a win, it will be hard to beat Mumbai at home. The former cricketer also said that fans in Mumbai will always cheer for MS Dhoni, who is the captain of CSK, but in the end, they will want MI to get two points.
“Mumbai fans will always want MS Dhoni to put on a good show, but they also want the Mumbai Indians to win the match.” But you can see that MI is hard to beat at home. So far, MI has won seven of the 10 matches between CSK and MI at Wankhede Stadium. “If you trust the numbers, then the Mumbai Indians will definitely get those two important points,” Yusuf Pathan told Star Sports.
Rohit Sharma might come out swinging: Tom Moody
Tom Moody, a former cricket player, thinks that five-time IPL winner Rohit Sharma might go all out to beat CSK after his team lost their first game. The 57-year-old also talked about how much the two teams hate each other.
“In the 15 years of the IPL, CSK and MI have each won nine trophies. So, people are very proud of what these two amazing teams do and how they work. Both of these teams have been doing well, and it’s good that they are rivals. It will also be a big moment for Rohit Sharma, who is the captain of MI. He will be playing at home, so he might come out swinging tomorrow.
