Rohit Sharma is leading the charge with the bat for Mumbai Indians with 215 runs from six games so far. After enduring a poor start to the campaign, Quinton de Kock looks to have found himself and smashed an unbeaten 70 in the win against Rajasthan Royals. With the ball, the Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah combination has delivered 23 wickets in the tournament.
Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad are in great form at the top of the order for CSK. They don't fail very often but if they do they have Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran all making significant contributions at some stage in this campaign with the bat. With the ball, Deepak Chahar leads the side with 8 wickets, however the all-rounders have all chipped in with useful dismissals as well.
Trent Boult (63) and Jasprit Bumrah (59) are both in the top four for number of dot balls in the 2021 IPL. They may well find themselves bowling to Ravindra Jadeja who has hit the most runs from one over, 37 from Harshal Patel.

MI vs CSK T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2021
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings face off for the first time in this year’s IPL in Saturday’s fixture. Mumbai are aiming for their third successive IPL title and have begun with three wins and three defeats. CSK finished last year in 7th place with 12 points and after six games are only one win away from equalling that points tally. Read on as we preview this clash of the 2021 IPL. The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi and will get underway at 19:30 local time.
After two successive defeats, Mumbai Indians returned to winning ways against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. They won by 7 wickets and with 9 balls remaining but they will take most pride from Quinton de Kock returning to form. If they can post large scores then their bowlers will relish defending them.
CSK are on a winning streak and are showing no signs of stopping. After losing to Delhi Capitals in their first game of the 2021 IPL, they have won five in a row without any team getting close to them.

MI Team News & Playing 11
MI Team News
Nathan Coulter-Nile was a surprise selection over Ishan Kishan in the win over Rajasthan Royals. He didn’t get a chance to bat or take any wickets but his economy rate was satisfactory. Considering Mumbai got the victory, we expect them to keep the same XI.
MI Key Players
Quinton de Kock - the return to form of the South African wicket-keeper batsman takes the pressure off captain Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He has hit 500+ IPL runs in both of the last two tournaments.
Jasprit Bumrah - No other Mumbai bowler had an economy rate under 8.25, Bumrah’s was 3.75 from 4 overs. His rate is 5.91 over the campaign so far, his best in any IPL.
Trent Boult - blessed with one of the best yorkers in cricket, the New Zealand left-arm pacer is having another successful IPL. 7 wickets so far with more to come.
MI Team Form
If any other team had started with three wins and three defeats then they would probably be written off for the competition. However, with Mumbai Indians, you give them the benefit of the doubt that they may well be warming up for the crucial latter stages.
MI vs CSK Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Quinton de Kock (9.5) will be our wicketkeeper. One innings does not make a season but the South African will have his confidence sky high again.
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma (10), Faf du Plessis (10), Suresh Raina (9) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (8.5) are our batsmen. Rohit and du Plessis have 485 runs between them in the tournament.
All-rounders
We’ve selected Ravindra Jadeja (9.5) as our all-rounder. He showed against Harshal Patel that he can win a game on his own.
Bowlers
Trent Boult (9), Jasprit Bumrah (9), Deepak Chahar (8.5), Lungi Ngidi (8.5) and Rahul Chahar (8.5) make up our bowling attack. Mumbai’s finest alongside Chahar and Ngidi will be an awesome combination
Captain/Vice-captain
Faf du Plessis will be captain, his deputy will be Ravindra Jadeja
MI vs CSK Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Rohit Sharma, Faf du Plessis (c), Suresh Raina, Ruturaj Gaikwad
MS Dhoni has been able to ring the changes whilst maintaining the winning run. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, they had the luxury of recalling Lungi Ngidi and Moeen Ali in place of Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir. Shardul Thakur was expensive but will probably retain his place.
CSK Key Players
Faf du Plessis - after scores of 36*, 33, 95* and 50 in Mumbai, du Plessis showed a new stadium was no problem by hitting 56 in Delhi. His partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top of the order builds an excellent foundation for his side.
Ravindra Jadeja - the all-rounder has already contributed 109 runs, 8 catches and 5 wickets. In a team full of talented all-rounders, he stands out.
Deepak Chahar - CSK’s leading wicket taker has 8 from 6 games. Surrounded by other excellent bowlers in his team, Chahar’s right-arm medium continues to cause opposing batsmen problems.
CSK Team Form
Five wins on the bounce including seeing off RCB with their 100% record lead every pundit to the same conclusion. That CSK are the form team at this stage in the IPL 2021.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar

Who will win MI vs CSK IPL T20 Match?
Rohit Sharma and Faf du Plessis are the batsmen in forma and expected to deliver in this game
We are backing Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar with the bat for Mumbai Indians. They are the top three in the order and are all now in good form.
For CSK we are backing Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Suresh Raina. du Plessis is in an excellent position to end the season with the Orange Cap.
We are backing Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Rahul Chahar to cause problems for the CSK batsmen. Very few players have found the going easy against this trio.
For CSK we have gone with Lungi Ngidi, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur. Ngidi took a while to get his chance but he has looked very sharp whenever he has played.
Delhi Capitals are the only team to have stopped CSK so far this season, but could the Mumbai Indians combined with a resurgent Quinton de Kock do the same? We are predicting a very close game and expect Mumbai Indian's to win this game.

Virat Kohli may be tempted to include Mohammed Azharuddeen against Punjab Kings
RCB are placed second on the points table and they would like to stretch their lead and sit at the top of the points table. RCB captain Virat Kohli has shuffled between Shahbaz Ahmed and Rajat Patidar at No. 3 but neither has come good. Mohammed Azharuddeen smashed the second-fastest century in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, off 37 balls and could make his debut for RCB in today's game.
