Trent Boult for Top MI Bowler

This will effectively be Trent Boult’s 10th year in the Indian Premier League. He is among the top 20 wicket-takers in the history of the tournament – and even higher among bowlers from abroad in the IPL. Conditions in Chepauk, especially if Mumbai bowl first, should genuinely suit Boult. He is priced at $2.95 to be Mumbai’s top bowler in this match.

Ruturaj Gaikwad for Top CSK Batter

Ruturaj Gaikwad scored almost 200 runs more than any other Chennai batter during last year’s IPL. He hit one century and four half-tons in the 2024 tournament and is well positioned to match – or better this – this time. The captaincy should empower, not limit, his role with the bat. Gaikwad is priced at $3.10 to be top CSK batter in this match.

Sam Curran for Player of the Match

Sam Curran has evidently fallen out of favour with the England selectors – in Test and limited-overs cricket. But he remains a kingpin in domestic T20 competition – and is somewhat of a household name at CSK nowadays. As one of the best all-rounders in this fixture, he is reasonably well position to be the player of the match – and is priced at $9.00 in this market.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians Betting Preview

The Chennai Super Kings, like the Mumbai Indians, are one of the most successful teams in the history of the IPL. CSK and MI have five IPL titles each. Chennai’s most recent title was in 2023, while Mumbai have not won the tournament since 2020.

Chennai have a new captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad. He has big shoes to fill, but should still have MS Dhoni in the XI for advice and guidance. Gaikwad must not let the additional responsibility of the captaincy detract from his primary role with the bat.

CSK will need big runs from their captain – and will take confidence from the presence of world-class all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has moved to CSK – and knows how to succeed in Chepauk conditions.

Without an IPL title for four years, the pressure is on for Mumbai to turn around their poor performances in recent years. They will be hard-pressed to set a promising precedent against a strong Chennai XI this early in the tournament.

Trent Boult is still with the Mumbai franchise. He is one of the best left-arm pace aces in domestic T20 cricket around the world. Importantly, as a fast bowler, he knows how to adapt to slower Indian pitches. Anticipate a telling showing from Boult.

Freed of the captaincy and with plenty of batting support around him, Rohit Sharma has the opportunity to remind fans and critics alike why he should still be considered among the best opening batters in world cricket.

Team News

Chennai will likely choose Devon Conway to open the batting instead of fellow New Zealander Rachin Ravindra.

Mumbai will be without the suspended Hardik Pandya and injured Jasprit Bumrah. Suryakumar will captain the team in the one-match absence of Pandya.

Predicted Line-ups

Chennai Super Kings: Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Nathan Ellis, Matheesha Pathirana.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wicketkeeper), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, Arjun Tendulkar, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Karn Sharma.
