Top Pick – Batter
Ruturaj Gaikwad is dictating the terms with his phenomenal batting display. In 2 matches in this IPL, he has already scored 149 runs with the highest score of 92.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Moeen Ali is a valuable member of the Chennai Super Kings who can change things with his all-round abilities. In 2 matches in this tournament, he has scored 42 runs and picked up 4 wickets.
Top Pick – Bowler
Jofra Archer did bowl quite well but the RCB batters played him really well and didn’t give him wickets. He will be playing on a completely contrasting surface here in Mumbai which really suits his bowling.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Ishan Kishan is highly tentative at the top however once he gets into his mood he will become unstoppable. He just managed to score 10 runs against RCB.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Mumbai Indians didn’t look like winning a game at any point in time against Royal Challengers Bangalore and lost easily by 8 wickets. They lost the top 4 batters within the score of 50 runs and later Tilak Varma’s one-man show took them to a total of 171 on the small venue. The southpaw from Hyderabad smashed an unbeaten 84* runs. The bowlers didn’t create many chances and got sheer treatment from the RCB batters. Overall by analyzing their first game, we can conclude that they are still rebuilding their side after their disappointing show last year. The big guns Rohit Sharma, Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tim David need to perform well in this match.
It was a big sense of relief for Chennai Super Kings in front of their home fans as they defended 217 runs successfully against Lucknow Super Giants and won the game by 12 runs. The openers put up an exceptional show by adding 110 runs in just 9.1 overs and the finishing touches from Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni helped them to post a mammoth total. MS Dhoni’s captaincy skills were spot on as he used his spinners Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner pretty well. They need to cut down extras as they bowled 13 wides and 3 no-balls. Earlier they had lost to Gujarat Titans in the tournament opener by 5 wickets.
