On Saturday, April 8, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the 12th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 will pit Mumbai Indians (MI) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In their opening contest, Mumbai was humiliated by the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The MS Dhoni-led team, meanwhile, lost their opening match against the Gujarat Titans but rebounded admirably against the Lucknow Super Giants, moving them up to sixth place in the IPL 2023 points standings.
MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to field as he stated his experience on winning the 2011 World Cup at the same venue and also dominating the 2007 World Cup.
MS Dhoni also mentioned that Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali will be unavailable for tonight’s game.
MS Dhoni: We will bowl first. Think one of the most memorable venues not only the 2011 win but when we won in 2007, when we came back the reception we got was great. Generally got pace and bounce, you can play your shots We have a few injury concerns, Stokes has an injury, Mo is not available. Ajinkya and Pretorius are playing. These are the two changes we have made.
Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Shivam Dube, Dwaine Pretorius, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Sisanda Magala, Tushar Deshpande
