IPL 2022 | CSK vs MI | Fantasy Tips

It is not about a spot in the playoff; it is not about just two points; it is much more than that; pride is at stake as two of the most dominant forces in the history of the Indian Premier League go up against each other. In ‘Match 59’ of the IPL, we see four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) go up against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI), who have won the league five times.

Last time around, when the two teams met in the Classico, CSK came out on top as they managed to chase down 156 runs. An MS Dhoni special helped Men in Yellow claim the two points. Tilak Varma was sensational for MI, but his efforts went in vain as they couldn’t end up on the positive side. MI will look to revenge the loss this time around; with Bumrah back at his best, it is going to be a thriller that you might not want to miss.

Here is a list of players that might have a significant impact on today’s game:

Superstars of the game

Dwayne Bravo: The evergreen DJ Bravo is in the groove, and he is picking up wickets every time he comes on to bowl. The West Indian has 16 wickets in 9 matches, with a decent enough economy rate.

Tilak Varma: 334 runs in 11 matches; Tilak is the leading run-scorer for MI this season. With all the big names around him struggling to get going, this young lad has stepped up and delivered time and again. He is an excellent option for your fantasy XI.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: The young CSK opener started the season struggling to find his feet in the toughest twenty, but he has delivered to the expectations of one and all in the last few games. The 99 against SRH was a treat to watch, and the form suggests something similar is to come.

Expert Picks for the game

Jasprit Bumrah: This hasn’t been a regular Jasprit Bumrah season, the Indian speedster has looked off colour for most of the season, but in the last match, it looked as if the beast is back. He announced his return with a five-wicket haul. There is no reason why one should not expect Bumrah to come with a similar sort of performance.

Moeen Ali: The initial struggle to deliver resulted in Moeen being dropped from the squad, but he has found a way to bounce back and has contributed with the ball in hand. Ali is an all-rounder who can provide you with valuable points with both the bat and ball.

Tim David: The big man from Singapore has played a few cameos in the last few fixtures, giving his team the edge; David is second to none when it comes to clearing the fence at will. The big man can give you the edge over other fantasy users with his power hitting.
