6 Players who will have an Impact in the Finals

6 Players who will have an Impact in the Finals: The grand finale between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians is expected to be a mouth watering clash as both have been consistent throughout the tournament. Mumbai Indians have qualified for the finals from the first qualifier and Chennai had to win against Bangalore to ensure a spot in the finals. The following are the list of players who are expected to make an impact in this big game. 1. Suresh Raina: Suresh Raina CSK. (Photo Source: BCCI) Raina has been the most consistent player for the Chennai right from the start of Indian Premier League. He has scored above 400 runs in all the 7 editions of the IPL. He still needs 64 runs to achieve the feet this season. However, in this season, this southpaw has not contributed much. Big players play in big matches. So one can expect this left handed batsmen to fire in the finals against Mumbai. His acrobatic efforts on the field, can also give the much needed momentum in the match. 2. MS Dhoni: MS Dhoni CSK. (Photo Source: BCCI) MS has done really well to take his team to play offs each and every season in the history of IPL. His captaincy has been a huge boost for the Chennai Super Kings. The right handed batsman, from Ranchi also has made a sizable contribution with the bat whenever the team needed it. Also he has been calm and cool in the 5 finals that Chennai played and has also managed to win 2 of those. His methodology of keeping things simple has made a huge impact on the men in yellow. It won’t be a surprise if he leads them to another victory in the finals for the third time. 3. Ravichandran Ashwin: Ravichandran Ashwin CSK. (Photo Source: BCCI) This off spinner has been the unsung hero for the Chennai in the 8th edition of the IPL. Ashwin has done his job of stopping the flow of runs in the middle overs. He has been the man to go for, whenever the opposition starts to accelerate. Ash has had a decent economy of 6.45 in this season and he is expected to make a huge impact at the Eden Garden on Sunday. He would enjoy bowling on the deck that offers some bounce for the bowlers. 4. Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma MI. (Photo Source: BCCI) Having started this season poorly, this Mumbai batsman had to do lot of experiments with the playing XI and he has succeeded in the process. Especially, the inclusion of McClenaghan has brought in more stability to the bowling department. This was the cleverest move by the Mumbai Indians skipper. Also his instincts have taken his team home on many occasions. He sent Pandiya ahead of Harbhajan in the league match against Chennai and he went on to hit 4 sixes in the pre final over, which turned to be the match winning knock. His form, with the bat has also been wonderful. Having scored over 400 runs this season, he would be confident enough to lead the team for another victory in the finals. 5. Kieron Pollard: Kieron Pollard MI. (Photo Source: BCCI) This man from Trinidad, has been an excellent all rounder for the Mumbai Indians, since the time he joined the squad. Kieron Pollard has stepped up with the bat this season and has scored around 383 runs at a healthy average of 38 and picked up 2 wickets. His splendid work on the field makes any batsman work hard to get runs whenever the ball travels towards him. Last time when Chennai took on Mumbai in the finals, he was excellent on the field by holding on to 2 difficult chances, which made way for Mumbai’s victory in 2013. A similar kind of performance is expected even in this big match. 6. Harbhajan Singh: Harbhajan Singh MI. (Photo Source: BCCI) This off spinner from Punjab has been sensational in this IPL picking up 16 wickets at an economy of 7.8. Harbhajan has also contributed with the bat in the lower middle order. He holds the record of scoring the fastest fifty in 19 balls, this season. This blazing knock came against Punjab during the league match. The Eden would suit his bowling style and he is also expected to come hard against the Chennai Super Kings in this high voltage game.
