Rohit Sharma will look to regain his lost momentum both as a batsman and skipper, when Mumbai Indians square off against an astute Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s Chennai Super Kings in what could be safely billed as a Saturday night IPL blockbuster. Rested well for a week after their their crushing loss against RCB in season-opener, Mumbai Indians will have to deliver under additional pressure in front of their passionate home fans here at the Wankhede Stadium. More so, given how ruthlessly Royal Challengers Bangalore blew their Playing XI in a one-sided game last Sunday.
However, Mumbai will look to benefit most from the inexperience of Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Tushar Deshpande who could find the batting-friendly Wankhede track very challenging. How well spinners Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner bowl will also decide CSK`s fate against the five-time champions. There will be, however, be a case for Sisanda Magala, who is known to nail wide yorkers for South Africa might replace Santner in the playing XI. Skipper Sharma will be the cynosure of all eyes, who hasn`t been able to set the IPL stage ablaze for several seasons.
