As the biggest clash of the season arrives, the fans will witness Mumbai Indians take on the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2021 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on May 1. The match will provide a stage for the biggest stars in the league to come up against each other. This will be a huge opportunity for the fans to pick up some fantasy points. But, to ensure you do that, you must know which player is in form and which hasn’t.
Here are the 3 players whom you should avoid in the fantasy teams for the match between Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings game:
1. Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina started off the season with a brilliant fifty. But since that knock against Delhi, Raina hasn’t played a substantial knock for the CSK team. The fact that he is batting lower than where he bats usually could also have an effect. He has been at no. 4 or even lower than that in the last few matches. This has led to a situation where he isn’t getting a lot of balls to face. Having said that, the no.3 position is now held by Moeen Ali who can be picked as an alternative as he has been in good form and can contribute in both disciplines.
2. Deepak Chahar
The Chennai Super Kings bowler rocked Punjab Kings in a match in Mumbai, picking up four wickets in the first seven overs. A few days later, he was back in action once again, picking up another four-wicket haul, this time against Kolkata Knight Riders.
But Chahar has failed to pick up any wickets after that. In the other four matches in the tournament, he has picked no wickets. He generally bowls in the powerplay and picks up wickets when there is swing on offer early on. However, that hasn’t been the case in New Delhi so far.
3. Nathan Coulter-Nile
The Australian fast-bowler has been a veteran of T20 cricket and has found success. However, in the IPL, he has never had a long run as he does in the Big Bash League. This has not allowed him to find a settled unit or be a regular part of it. He came back in the previous match in the XI, but he is unlikely to adjust to the wicket.
