After Sharma departed, Suryakumar Yadav (57 off 26) took responsibility to helm the innings but Arshdeep Singh picked him up in the 18th over, derailing MI’s chase.
Here is a comprehensive guide on the key batsmen, key bowlers, predicted lineups and key battles ahead of CSK versus MI.
PBKS vs MI Predicted lineups
MI: Rohit Sharma(C), SA Yadav, Tim David, Tilak Varma, C Green, Piyush Chawla, Arshad Khan, Ishan Kishan(wk), K Kartikeya, Jofra Archer, Riley Meredith
PBKS: Shikhar Dhawan(C), Shahrukh Khan, SM Curran, Sikandar Raza, A Taide, LS Livingstone, JM Sharma(wk), RD Chahar, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, K Rabada
Best Batsmen from PBKS vs MI
Rohit Sharma (MI): The MI skipper has not yet found his rhythm this IPL and averages just 23.00. However, the flat batting track of Mohali might just be what the doctor ordered for Sharma. The Mumbai native is regarded as one of the most destructive batsman in the world if he gets going.
Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS): PBKS’ experienced skipper was in fine form, firing 234 runs in five innings, before a shoulder injury sidelined him. His return did not go as planned — the Indian batsman scored 28 off 15 against CSK. His form will be crucial for PBKS to clinch the two points.
Suryakumar Yadav (MI): The flamboyant Indian batsman had a disappointing start to the IPL but is hitting his stride. He has been at his brilliant best, scoring 135 in his last three innings including two fifties. If SKY sets off on his rocket he will be a difficult customer to deal with.
