Cricket | Saturday | 24th October, 2020

There is an alternate vibe noticeable all around at whatever point Mumbai Indians face Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. The two groups have shared an extraordinary contention since the beginning of the competition in 2008, and it isn't amazing that both CSK and MI have developed as two best groups throughout the entire existence of the competition. While MI have won four titles under Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni has driven CSK to three IPL titles throughout the long term.

This year, the two groups meet in the profit conflict for Friday in the midst of chances that one more annihilation may preclude CSK's odds of advancing ahead in the tournament. The Dhoni-drove side has lost 7 out of 10 games up until now, however one of their 3 successes of the period had been against the Mumbai Indians in the initial conflict of IPL 2020.

In an ongoing scene of talk show, there was a section named Rivalry Week in which CSK and MI stars reviewed a portion of the minutes between the players of the two groups before.

“Pollard sent me a WhatsApp message saying, ‘Pack your bags. You are going home.’ And I was like ok, no problem. CSK qualified and had to play Mumbai in the playoffs,” Bravo recalled.


“And who was the person going home? Pollard. That’s why I gave him the send-off,” he further said.

Meanwhile, CSK off-spinner Harbhajan Singh who did not travel to the UAE to join CSK camp citing personal reasons, further said: “The 2013 finals was a great game. It was satisfying thing to beat CSK since they had beaten MI in the previous finals. The rivalry quotient had increased from then.”
