MI vs CSK in IPL 2021: MS Dhoni vs Rohit Sharma
MS Dhoni is one of the best strategists when it comes to cricket. The 39-year-old has done it many times for India and CSK. And he is doing it again. After the IPL 2020 debacle, while many wrote off Chennai as the favourites, Dhoni with his positive approach made sure to silence the critics. His belief to get the best out of his men is the biggest reason why Chennai find themselves at the helm of IPL 2021 points table.
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, has the most formidable Playing XI. Boasting an explosive opening pair of Rohit and Quinton de Kock, followed by a hard-hitting middle order, Mumbai’s armour has been uncrackable. While they started their IPL 2021 season slow, the defending champions returned to the winning ways after they hammered Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets.
