Chennai Super Kings take on Mumbai Indians in match 59 of IP L 2022 at the Wanked Stadium on Thursday, May 12.
This is a must-win game for CSK to stay alive in the playoffs race. Mumbai Indians are already eliminated from the tournament. If CSK loses to MI, they will be eliminated as well.
A total of 74 matches will be played across the four venues in Maharashtra. 20 matches each will be played at the Wanked Stadium and the DY Patel Stadium, while 15 games each will be played at the Broxbourne Stadium and the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Group A has teams like MI, KKR, DC, RR, and LSG. Group B consists of CSK, RCB, SR H, PB KS, and GT.
Chennai Super Kings won their previous game against Delhi Capitals by 91 runs. The win has kept them alive in the season so far. However, they need to win all their remaining games to stay alive in the competition. CSK beat MI when the two teams met earlier in the season. CSK have endured a tough season, losing seven of their 11 games so far. A comeback from here on will be tough for the Msdhoni led side.
Mumbai Indians, on the other end, lost their previous game against KKR. That was their ninth loss of the season, the most for them in any IP L season. The side can play spoilsport by beating CSK and ending their campaign as well. Rohit Sharma has repeatedly spoken about how their batting unit has let them down in the season time and again. The same was the case for them against KKR as they were bowled out for 113 chasing 166 to win.
The season has gone from bad to worse for Mumbai Indians. They are completely down on confidence. CS K, on the other hand, have a winning momentum which they would like to take forward and keep themselves alive in the season. Chennai Super Kings to win the match.
Jades was ruled out of the remainder of IP L 2022 with a rib injury, confirmed CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan on Wednesday, 11 May. The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder has had a poor time with bat and ball this season: in 10 matches, he managed only 116 runs and took just 5 wickets.
Jades, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings for almost 10 years, was unfollowed by the franchise on their Instagram handle. This has led to speculation on social media that jades left the season abruptly because of some issues with the team.
Jades won't be there for this match. But I am getting a thought that maybe he won't even be there next year. This happens in the Chennai camp that you don't exactly know what has happened to the player when he is injured or gets dropped. A similar thing happened to Suresh in 2021. After some games, they suddenly left him out, Chopra said while speaking in a video on his YouTube channel.
