Mumbai Indians starting in players against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday did not include Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma.
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against Mumbai Indians in Dubai for the start of the 2019 season. However, many Mumbai Indians fans were shocked when Kieron Pollard onto the field for the coin toss in place of Rohit Sharma, who will not be participating in this match. In the points table, CSK is in second place, while MI is in fourth. In the earlier matchup, it was Pollard who carried the team home, in a huge run chase.
One of the league’s best offenses won’t have its biggest guns this year, as it is without both Rohit and Hardik.
Sam Curran is serving a suspension for the match, leaving Chennai Super Kings shorthanded.
