IPL 2022 CSK vs MI Predicted Playing XI: Will MI's Arjun Tendulkar make IPL debut? MS Dhoni's CSK to go unchanged in do-or-die match

MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings will take on arch-rivals Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians in a do-or-die contest at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. CSK need to win all their remaining games to stay alive in the playoffs race while MI are already out of the competition. Dhoni and co. are coming into this game on the back of a confidence-boosting win against Delhi Capitals while Mumbai faced a defeat against KKR in their last game. 

Relentless bowler and an Exciting talent.

Talking about the team changes, Mumbai who have nothing to lose will look to test their bench strength. MI have struggled in the season as there was no balance in the squad. All-rounders like Kieron Pollard and Daniel Sams have failed miserably this season. MI team mangement can look at Arjun Tendulkar for tonight's game. 

On the other hand, CSK will go unchanged in the do-or-die match. Devon Conway's form was a big boost for the defending champions. Mukesh Choudhary will look to repeat his heroics from the last time MI faced CSK. Shivam Dube and Moeen Ali's form in the middle order will be crucial for Chennai to beat five-time champions.
