The 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is being played between the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and the four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, May 6. A win will help both teams to jump to the 2nd spot in the points table. CSK won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Meanwhile, MI skipper Rohit Sharma, who didn’t open the innings with Ishan Kishan and came to bat at no. 3, registered another duck in the league as he departed in the 3rd over without even scoring a single run. He tried to play a lap shot against Deepak Chahar but his poor form didn’t let him execute the shot as the ball struck the bat’s edge and found Ravindra Jadeja at backward point.

Rohit is having a bad time this season as in 10 matches he has scored only 184 runs at a poor average of 18.4. This will be the biggest concern for MI as Rohit’s form is very crucial for the team to make it to the playoffs. However, many fans are worried as he will be leading the Indian Team in Test Championship final and the upcoming ODI World Cup later this year.

Will MI avenge their previous loss?

CSK and MI are placed 3rd and 6th in the standings, but they're separated by a mere one point, with CSK having played one extra match. This is the second time that both teams are facing each other in the 16th edition as in the previous clash the MS Dhoni-led team emerged victorious by defeating MI on their home ground. It'd be interesting to see if the Rohit-led team will be able to avenge their loss or not.

However, an interesting fact has come to the fore as since returning in 2018, CSK haven't beaten MI at home. They certainly have an opportunity to correct that record but they would love a bit of home advantage in terms of the pitch to aid them in their bid.
