As the clock tick-tocks away for the showdown on this year’s IPL, we at LatestLY bring you a list of 5 key players to watch out for MI vs CSK, IPL 2019 Final match, tonight.
Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock has emerged as the highest run-scorer for Mumbai Indians this IPL, leaving behind other bigwigs Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard. The wicket-keeper batsman has delivered consistently for side, scoring 500 runs in 15 matches he has played this season. How he fares against CSK’s fiery bowling in the Powerplay will determine MI’s chances for their record 4th title.
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni’s rescue acts have been the only constant for Chennai Super Kings this season. In 14 matches, Dhoni has scored 414 runs in the league this year. However, the team would be banking more on his leadership instincts than his exemplary batting form. If CSK wants to lift the IPL trophy for the record time, Dhoni will have to bring his A+ game into the match, after faltering a few days back.
Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah will be MI’s key to rattle the top-order of CSK, which comprises of Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu. The pack has performed inconsistently this season, and Bumrah (given the form that he is in), would be itching to have a go at the flamboyant CSK batting line-up. Bumrah cannot afford an off-day tonight, if MI is eyeing for the glory!
Imran Tahir
MS Dhoni’s blue-eyed player this season, Imran Tahir has had a stupendous campaign in this IPL. It will be interesting to see where Dhoni uses his trump card – against the top order or in the middle orders. Tahir has picked up 24 wickets in 16 matches, and is only a couple of wickets away from winning the Purple Cap.
Lasith Malinga
After a sluggish start to his IPL season this year, Lasith Malinga has had made a great comeback in his campaign. In 11 matches, Malinga has picked up 15 wickets at a par average of 25.93. Malinga would be eyeing the top three CSK batsmen, if skipper Rohit Sharma hands him the new bowl. Malinga’s performance against Chennai will be a key to Mumbai’s record 4th title.
