CSK vs MI Dream11 Match Must Pick Choices :

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been batting beautifully across all formats this year. In the first half of the IPL 2021, the MI skipper was his side’s leading run-getter. He amassed 250 runs and got a good score in almost every game. Thus, he will be a top option as fantasy captain.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali was excellent in the initial phase of this tournament. The England off-spinning all-rounder scored 206 runs while striking at 157.25 and also took five wickets. Moreover, he did well in The Hundred and T20 Blast as well.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav can be backed as vice-captain. The MI No. 3 was a touch inconsistent in the first half but he batted really well in the series against Sri Lanka. He had scores of 31*, 53, 40 (ODIs) and 50 (T20I).

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja will be a top all-round option. The left-handed all-rounder has aggregated 131 runs at a strike-rate of 161.72. Moreover, with the ball, he has taken six wickets at an economy rate of 6.70.

Quinton De Kock

Quinton de Kock is going to be a popular wicket-keeping pick. The left-handed South African wicket-keeper batsman looked scratchy in the first half of this tournament. But he has been in top form recently and amassed 153 runs against Sri Lanka in three T20Is.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah bowled really well in the first half of this 2021 season. But the ace Indian pacer did not have the returns to show. He took six wickets at an economy rate of 7.11.

Rahul Chahar

Rahul Chahar has been in top form with the ball. The MI leg-spinner returned with 11 wickets at an average of 18.36 and has an economy rate of 7.21. He will be a key bowler for MI once again.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been quite impressive for CSK in the last couple of seasons. He struck three successive half-centuries to end IPL 2020 and has scored 196 runs at a strike-rate of 126.80 in the current season so far.
