When the Mumbai Indians (MI) host the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday night in the 29th game of the Indian Premier League 2024, they will be hoping to keep up their winning streak. MI, headed by Hardik Pandya, had a dismal start to the IPL 2024 season before making an incredible turnaround with two significant victories in their last two games.

At Wankhede Stadium, MI defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by chasing a 197-run goal with seven wickets left to win a straight-up match. On the contrary, CSK has made a triumphant comeback at MA Chidambaram Stadium, defeating the highly successful Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets. However, CSK has battled with consistency this season and has lost two away games. In this match, they'll be looking forward to winning the match to climb up in the points table.

Top players for MI vs CSK Dream 11 Match 

Top Players – Chennai Super Kings 

Rachin Ravindra - Devon Conway's replacement, Rachin Ravindra has been magnificent for CSK in the powerplays. He gives some quick starts to the team which is quite important to set a huge target. He compliments Ruturaj Gaikwad well and tries to keep the pressure off Gaikwad. One good point about Ravindra is his ability to play both pacers and spinners extremely well. Hence, in the game against MI, he'll be expected to stay longer and build an innings with Gaikwad. 

Shivam Dube - Shivam Dube takes on the spinners well and has played some amazing in the past. He comes in bats with a high confidence which scares the bowlers most of the time. In this most-anticipated match, CSK will expect him to maintain his consistency so that the team will win. 

Top Players – Mumbai Indians 

Ishan Kishan - Ishan Kishan is one of the best players in MI and has played exceptionally well in this year's IPL. He has given great starts to the team in the powerplays which helped them score 235 and 199 in the last two matches. He plays against all the bowlers efficiently and is also a reliable batter. Hence, MI can count on him ahead of the clash against CSK. 

Suryakumar Yadav - Known as Mr. 360, SKY is brilliant in playing shots all over the ground. He can single-handedly turn the match in the team's favour which is a big plus-point. To win the match, will's main task will be to keep SKY in check, or else he'll take away the match easily. 

MI vs CSK: Must Picks for Dream 11 Cricket 

Shardul Thakur - Even in the opening over of an innings, Shardul Thakur can change the course of events. For CSK, the left-arm bowler takes the field first and comes dangerously close to taking a wicket. Against MI, CSK will be hoping for a similarly explosive start from the Indian bowler. 

Shreyas Gopal - The seasoned spinner has performed admirably in the competition thus far. In the middle overs, Shreyas will be in charge of putting out the runs and claiming vital wickets.

MI vs CSK: Risky captaincy choices

Daryl Mitchell: The season of IPL 2024 has not been easy for the New Zealand debutant. However, Daryl Mitchell is gradually regaining his self-assurance and form. Before one can truly declare that they are back to their best, they must also demonstrate consistency and continue to score runs. 

Rohit Sharma: The former captain of the Mumbai Indians continued to start the IPL 2024 season on a slow note and hasn't maintained consistency yet. Against Chennai, he has amassed 791 runs in 31 innings with the assistance of seven fifties thus far. Hence, fans will be expecting him to return to his form.
