IPL 2020: After facing a one-run defeat against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2019 finals, Chennai Super Kings will look to bounce back with a bang at Sheikh Zayed stadium. The three-time champions will face four-time champions in the COVID-19 curtailed campaign. Returning Mahendra Singh Dhoni will look to smash the four-time winner Rohit Sharma in the opening clash.

When Chennai Super Kings face Mumbai Indians, there are multiple things are at stake for both the teams. Moreover, there are things at stake for multiple players too. For some players, this season could pave a way for the national team and for few players, this could be detrimental for their future stint in the international team.

Here are three players who can prove detrimental for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians:

Top 3 Picks for Chennai Super Kings against MI:

 

#1) Mahendra Singh Dhoni

The Thala is back in the cricketing circuit after 437 days. Mahendra Singh Dhoni appeared for one last time in his international colours against Newzealand in the World Cup semifinals. The most successful captain for Team India announced his retirement a month ago which has made IPL more interesting. Returning after a long hiatus and with a point to prove for his doubters wrong, MS Dhoni can be dangerous against Mumbai Indians.

#2) Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja played his last T20 match against New Zealand at the start of the year and last ODI in February. After that, when he was poised to play against South Africa, the lockdown was enforced.

With the pitch being slow at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, it would give a lot of opportunities for a player like Ravindra Jadeja to show his magic. With Suresh Raina absent from the squad owing to personal reasons, Jadeja can prove to be detrimental against Mumbai Indians.

The Protean spinner is coming from the CPL circuit and will hope to continue his fine run against Mumbai Indians. It is a turning track at Sheikh Zayed Stadium which would definitely come to the support of spinners.

With players like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya uncomfortable against leg-break bowlers, Imran Tahir has a big role to play. Can he start off to a high-flying season?
