CSK pacer Mukesh Choudhary removed Ishan Kishan in the fifth delivery of the first over and reduced MI to 2/2. Suryakumar Yadav came in as the new batter and scored the first boundary of the night.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is dismissed early by Mukesh Choudhary, with Mitchell Santner taking the catch. After 0.2 overs, MI are already a wicket down.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma believes that losing the toss is a blessing in disguise as he stated, "The surfaces have changed a bit from what we played in the first game. The teams have won batting first here in the last 3-4 games, so it is a blessing in disguise."

As for the changes, he added, "We have made three changes. Riley Meredith is making his debut for Mumbai, Hrithik Shokeen is an off-spinner and making his debut, Daniel Sams comes back. Whenever we make those changes we see if we can find the right balance. We don't want to compromise on our batting and at the same time don't want to compromise on our bowling, we try and keep that intact with five bowling options. There's a bit of bounce and we know he (Meredith) can bowl quick that is the reason we got him in. Sometimes you have to look at the opposition as well, they have 3-4 left-handers in the middle and that's why we wanted an off-spinner.

As for how the season has panned out, Rohit added, "We are trying to keep things as simple as possible and not complicate them, but the season has not gone as we wanted and hence those many changes. We have to win all games, but we can't look that far ahead. We have to see how we perform in this game and take it from there."

Chennai Super Kings captain Ravindra Jadeja won the toss and opted to bowl first, stating, "The wicket looks a bit damp and we want to take advantage. It might spin a bit initially and the dew might come in the second half. We have a couple of changes in place of Moeen and Jordan, Pretorius and Santner come in."

There have been speculations moving around all of social media that Mumbai Indians may give Arjun Tendulkar his debut. With the toss set to take place in less than 10 minutes, it remains to be seen what playing 11 do MI announce? 

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Dwayne Bravo will hope to have another strong performance against the Mumbai Indians, having picked up 31 wickets at an economy of 7.90 previously.

Some of the Mumbai Indians stars such as Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav shared their thoughts on the epic MI vs CSK rivalry as seen in the video below:

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Dewald Brevis, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Fabian Allen, Jaydev Unadkat, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills

Chennai Super Kings: Robin Uthappa, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary

The last two matches held at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai have seen teams able to both chase and defend the target as well. While the pitch is expected to be good for batting, it is likely to also offer some good bounce for the bowlers. As for the team winning the toss, they are likely to choose to bowl first.

With Adam Milne ruled out of IPL 2022 due to a hamstring injury, the Chennai Super Kings have signed Matheesha Pathirana as a replacement.
