At InsideSport, we take a look at the five dream matchups for the most successful teams in cash-rich IPL
MS Dhoni vs Murugan Ashwin
Former CSK captain MS Dhoni will likely face wrist spinner Murugan Ashwin. Leg spinners such as Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy were deadly against MSD. Don’t be surprised if M Ashwin rushes out to bowl after MS Dhoni’s arrival at the crease.
Rohit Sharma vs R Jadeja
Skipper Rohit Sharma of the Mumbai Indians will not only meet R Jadeja as captain, but also as a batter. The CSK all-rounder has sacked Rohit three times for 83 runs in the T20 format. If Rohit Sharma gets going, R Jadeja can even join the power plays.
Ishan Kishan against spinners
MI opener Ishan Kishan likes to go after the spinners once he’s in the power playovers. Maheesh Theekshana, Moeen Ali and left arm spinner R Jadeja are tasked with stopping Kishan in the crucial match.
Kieron Pollard v Dwayne Bravo
It will be a match between two West Indian legends Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo. Can Pollard ‘the finisher’ come to the fore against the best IPL death bowler ‘Bravo’. The match could also determine the fate of the match as CSK relies on Dwayne Bravo’s death bowling with the demise of Chris Jordan and the inexperienced Mukesh Choudhary.
Robin Uthappa vs Jaydev Unadkat
CSK opener Robin Uthappa will face in-form MI pacer Jaydev Unadkat in the power plays. With Jasprit Bumrah not at his best, Unadkat has been a hiatus in the turnaround season. Uthappa will have to tackle Unadkat to ensure a top start for CSK.
