Mumbai Indians will face Chennai Super Kings in the blockbuster IPL 2021 match on Saturday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium Saturday. MI, the defending champions, returned to winning ways against Rajasthan Royals, while CSK are enjoying a stellar five-match winning run.
MI, who seem to have rediscovered their mojo on a batting-friendly surface in Delhi after the Chennai leg saw them lose three of their five matches, will be tough competitors for CSK who are on top of the table at the moment.
