New Delhi: One of the most talked about matches of IPL is being played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday evening. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have come face to face. CSK captain MS Dhoni decided to bowl after winning the toss, but during this time the playing XI of both the teams surprised.
Wouldn’t call it an injury, but Jofra out as a precaution
Actually, there is no fast bowler Joffra Archer in Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, star all-rounder Ben Stokes is missing in CSK. Why these two players are not playing, the captains informed about it after the toss. Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma said- Unfortunately we have got a setback. I wouldn’t call it an injury, but Jofra is not playing as a precaution, we have other players.
We talk about what went wrong in Bangalore
Rohit further said – It is always a good pitch for batting. There is always something in it for the bowlers. We just have to play good cricket. We have been good in the last few days. We talked about what went wrong in our last game in Bangalore. Hopefully we can win the match tonight. It feels great to be back at Wankhede. We are looking forward to playing in front of our home crowd.

Stokes is injured, Moeen Ali is not available
On the other hand, CSK captain MS Dhoni won the toss and said – our concern has increased due to some injuries. Stokes is injured, Moeen Ali is unavailable. Ajinkya and Pretorius are playing. We have made these two changes. Dhoni further said- One of the most memorable places, not only the 2011 victory, but the 2007 victory is also special. The welcome we got when we came back was wonderful. A report has revealed that Stokes is out of the game for at least 10 days.
Preps ✅
