The El Clásico of IPL will resume the IPL 2021 in the opener on Sunday. Both teams are the most successful teams in the IPL. Last time we saw Kieron Pollard’s incredible 87-run unbeaten innings in just 34 balls. Here is the MI vs CSK Dream 11 prediction.
Currently, the defending champions are in the 4th spot on the points table by winning 4 out of 7 matches. On the Other hand, where Chennai is in the 2nd spot by winning 5 out of 7 matches.
Both these teams are the only teams in which the players are the same as in phase 1 of IPL 2021 which means all players are available. For Chennai, Sam Curran would not be available for the first game against Mumbai as he would still be in quarantine as he joined the squad, a bit late. Faf Du Plessis who has been in good form in CPL is suffering from a groin injury lately and the call on him will be made late by the CSK management. On the other side, Mumbai has all players available for selection as there is no reported absence.

Team News: CSK and MI
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai was the first time to fly to Dubai to get more game time and practice. Faf is the leading run-scorer for them, his availability will be crucial at the top. Moeen Ali, who had given them the balance which they were searching for last season, and the team will expect more from him. The only problem could be the match situation for the players in the middle order which have Raina, Rayudu, and Dhoni as haven’t played competitive games for a while. Bravo, the bowler will also be tested as he hasn’t bowled complete 4 overs in a match in CPL. Shardul will be having more confidence after performing well for the Indian team.
Probable playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (C, WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Josh Hazlewood, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar
Mumbai Indians
MI always starts slow but this time they can’t afford to start slow as only 7 matches are left. Mumbai could also play only three foreign players and have Jayant Yadav, as CSK has many left-hand batsmen in their middle order. De Kock and Pollard have been in good form recently. One thing to watch out for could be is that Hardik is bowling or not which is not just crucial for Mumbai but also for India moving forward.
Probable Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, K Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult
