It is Chepauk and Karn could be an option for MI. He brings in the experience and can be an option in t he middle overs. On his day, he could provide four good overs of leg spin.
2) KL Shrijith might play for Mumbai against CSK in IPL 2025
KL Shrijith is one of the players who could surprisingly play for Mumbai Indians against CSK in IPL 2025. With Hardik Pandya missing, it will be interesting to see who replaces the captain.
Robin Minz and KL Shrijith are the options for the side. KL has been in fine touch and can play a role as a finisher. He is good against the spinners, as well. Therefore, he could be preferred over the others against CSK in Chennai on Sunday for MI.
