CSK vs MI Pitch Report

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known for its arid surface assisting the spinners.

A score between 160-180 will be competitive and either skipper winning the toss will prefer chasing at this venue.

CSK vs MI Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Devon Conway:

In the nine matches played, Conway has maintained his purple patch as he has collected 414 runs, lacing it with five half-centuries at an impressive average of 59.14. Conway will look to come all guns blazing against the arch-rivals and produce another fine knock.

Probable best bowler

Ravindra Jadeja:

The star all-rounder has been lethal with the ball especially after the powerplay overs. In addition to this, Jadeja will look to use the pitch conditions to his advantage and get the required breakthroughs. In the previous game against LSG, Jadeja was successful in his three overs as he helped get a scalp and gave mere 11 runs at an economy 3.66. A similar performance will be expected from the star all-rounder in the forthcoming game against Mumbai.
