Chennai Super Kings leading run scorer earlier in the tournament was South Africa’s Faf du Plessis who hit 4 half-centuries in 7 innings. He is our tip for CSK’s highest run scorer in this game. Deepak Chahar has 8 wickets in the tournament and we are backing the spinner to be their top wicket taker against Mumbai Indians.
Rohit Sharma had hit 29 boundaries in the 2021 IPL before it was postponed. He is a solid bet for Mumbai Indians’ highest run scorer against CSK. Rahul Chahar took 11 wickets earlier in the competition and is worth backing as their top wicket taker in this match.
We expect the big hitters to enjoy the conditions in Dubai and our recommendation for the Player of The Match Award is Rohit Sharma.

CSK vs MI T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2021
The IPL returns on Sunday evening in Dubai with Chennai Super Kings taking on Mumbai Indians.

Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 18:00 local time.
Chennai Super Kings were very impressive in the early stages of the 2021 IPL and will be top of the table if they win their game in hand over Delhi Capitals.
Mumbai Indians never start the IPL in excellent form but are experts at peaking at the right time. They are well placed in 4th and will fancy their chances in this game.

Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians, IPL 2021.
Compared to some of the other franchise sides, Chennai Super Kings will field a very similar team to what we saw back in April and May in India. They already have 10 points on the board and have a 4 point cushion from 5th placed Rajasthan Royals.
CSK Key Players
Faf du Plessis - The former South Africa international was in electric form in the tournament earlier in the year with a top score of 95 not-out.
Ravindra Jadeja - The all-rounder hit 37 runs off the final over from Harshal Patel in April. Jadeja is a top performer with bat and ball for CSK.
Deepak Chahar - The spinner brings with him 8 wickets in the 2021 IPL already. His best figures were 4-13 against Punjab Kings.
CSK Team Form
Chennai Super Kings’ winning run came to an end in their final match in India against their opponents in this game.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Josh Hazlewood, Deepak Chahar
CSK vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
MS Dhoni (8.5) and Ishan Kishan (8.5) will be our wicket-keepers. You never know what number Dhoni will bat at but his ability is not in doubt.
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma (10), Faf du Plessis (9.5) and Suryakumar Yadav (9) are our batsmen. All three are capable of winning the game with the bat over the course of a few overs.
All-rounders
Ravindra Jadeja (9.5) and Moeen Ali (9.5) will be our all rounders. Both players are true all-rounders who offer top quality skills with bat and ball.
Bowlers
Jasprit Bumrah (9), Trent Boult (9), Rahul Chahar (8.5) and Deepak Chahar (8.5) will be our bowlers. We expect Bumrah to flourish in Dubai.
Captain/Vice-captain
Rohit Sharma will be captain, Jasprit Bumrah his deputy
CSK vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Rohit Sharma (c), Faf du Plessis, Suryakumar Yadav
The current holders of the IPL have also not been too badly affected by the 4 month delay. They will not be at full strength immediately with Quinton de Kock currently playing for South Africa in Sri Lanka. However, they will be one of the favourites for the tournament.
MI Key Players
Rohit Sharma - The captain will be high on confidence after hitting his first overseas Test century at The Oval earlier this month.
Suryakumar Yadav - The top order batsman received a late call-up to the India Test squad in England but did not make an appearance. He will relish a return to IPL action.
Jasprit Bumrah - The pace bowler was surprisingly lacking in potency earlier in the tournament but we expect him to be back at his best in Dubai.
MI Team Form
Irrespective of their form, Mumbai Indians are always a team who can pull out an incredible performance from nowhere. They have won their last 2 games in the 2021 IPL.
Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali are our recommendations with the bat for Chennai Super Kings. Moeen is a world class performer in short format games.
Mumbai Indians’s top batsmen are Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Sharma returns from England with his reputation now as a world class multi-format player.
We are backing Deepak Chahar, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur with the ball for Chennai Super Kings. All three will enjoy the surface in Dubai.
The top bowlers for Mumbai Indians will be Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Rahul Chahar. Bumrah was back to his best during the Test series in England.
This is a perfect match to get the IPL back underway with two teams in strong form and full of internationals playing at the top of their game. We expect this to be a particularly close match but are backing Mumbai Indians to sneak a win and go level on points with CSK.
