Captain Cool & his men would be looking to go in domination mode right from the outset considering the fact that MI have always had the better of them in intense situations. Likes of Watson & Du Plessis need to make a good opening stand and with Kedar Jadhav injured, you might see Jadeja getting some more batting early on than usual.

They’ve got a great record against CSK, they’re looking in great shape and body language and have absolutely no reason to lose this one. Oh wait, there’s only one major concern. Yes, the main man himself- ‘Mahi’. He’s the only threat to MI who can take this crucial game away from them single-handedly.
Let’s look forward to the most anticipated competition so far in the tournament. May the best team prevail & win!
