Chennai Super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in the 41st Match of Dream11 IPL 2020 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. We will provide CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing XI, and Dream11 Tips.
Chennai Super Kings:
CSK is very close to being eliminated from the race for playoffs as they are currently at the bottom of the points table with three wins and seven losses and a total of 6 points.
The Super Kings are having a callous time this season in all the departments. Most of the players are over 30 years, and fitness has been a significant issue as they haven’t been able to adjust to the temperatures and big ground sizes in UAE.
Batting has been abysmal this season as no batsmen except for du Plessis has appeared to be in good form. Rayudu and Watson have played decent innings in few matches, but they have struggled to run between the wickets. Curran has been trying to score but opening the innings for the team has put pressure on him.
Jadeja has been brilliant with the bat but has failed to perform with the ball, and captain cool MSD has not been able to hit big sixes and perform the finisher role that he has been doing for the past 12 seasons. Jadhav has looked completely out of touch and is struggling a lot.
Deepak Chahar struggled to pick up wickets in the starting matches, but from the past few games he is bowling very well and picking up wickets. Shardul Thakur and Piyush Chawla have been expensive but have been able to pick up crucial wickets.
With Bravo being injured CSK doesn’t have any proper death bowler and the way they have been performing this season, it is almost over for them this time.
- Sam Curran and Faf du Plessis will open the inning for CSK.
- The middle-order will comprise of Shane Watson/N Jagadeesan, Ambati Rayudu, skipper MS Dhoni.
- All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Kedar Jadhav/Ruturaj Gaikwad will be crucial in the lower middle order.
- Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla/Imran Tahir will form the spin attack of the team.
- Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Sam Curran, and Josh Hazlewood will be the team’s pace attack.

They have been performing brilliantly in all the departments in every match. Rohit Sharma hasn’t scored much in the last few games, but we all know what he is capable of, and de Kock is looking in red hot form and scoring runs from the top.
