The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League has been one of the most entertaining IPL seasons of all time. Interestingly, the organizers decided against starting the season with a battle between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings this year. Fans had to wait for almost one month to see the first El Clasico of the Season, but tomorrow Mumbai Indians will battle CSK.
Both franchises have disappointed their fans with their performance in IPL 2022 so far. While CSK are ninth on the points table with one win from six matches, Mumbai Indians are winless after six outings.
In this article now, we will look at the strongest MI playing XI that could help them register their first win of the season.
Openers for Mumbai Indians vs CSK: Rohit Sharma (C) and Ishan Kishan (WK)
Despite their inconsistent performances in IPL 2022, it is unlikely that the Mumbai Indians will change their opening pair. Captain Rohit Sharma is likely to open the innings for the team with wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan.
Middle Order – Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma
The performance of the middle order batters has been one of the few positives for MI in IPL 2022. All three players, namely Brevis, Yadav and Verma have been impressive in IPL 2022.
All-Rounders – Kieron Pollard, Tim David and Fabian Allen
Mumbai Indians might bring Tim David back into the team to stack up their batting unit. Kieron Pollard and Fabian Allen may retain their spots.
Bowlers for Mumbai Indians vs CSK – Jasprit Bumrah, Jaydev Unadkat and Mayank Markande
Jasprit Bumrah and Jaydev Unadkat will probably retain their places in the pace-bowling unit. MI may want to change their leg-spinner by resting Murugan Ashwin and bringing Mayank Markande in his place. Tymal Mills may make way for Tim David in the Mumbai Indians playing XI for this match.
