5 factors that may decide the fate of Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings
BADSHAHBOOK: Chennai Super Kings managed their campaign back on the track followed by a home win against the Lucknow Super Giants on Monday.
Mumbai Indians, Kings' opponents in Saturday night's match, will look to draw inspiration from MS Dhoni's side when the two IPL giants clash at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Having a history of the epic battles played between the two powerhouses in the IPL, fans may be expecting another thrill-filled encounter on Saturday.
These are 5 key factors that may decide the game.Rohit's form
First, the MI captain Rohit Sharma needs to achieve a big score at the top of the order. A giant in white-ball formats, Rohit has not played these big innings regularly in any format since becoming India's full-time captain. He does not seem to get struggling for timing or rhythm, but it is the incapability to divert his starts into large scores which is troubling the Indian team. And it may also trouble Mumbai Indians this IPL season if Rohit doesn't find his magic touch.

Onus on Archer
In Jasprit Bumrah's absence, it will be up to Jofro Archer to carry Mumbai Indians' bowling hopes. The England fast bowler has just made his comeback from a long injury lay-off. In the very first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Jofra Archer found out that Virat Kohli was too hot to handle. But even he is a top-class bowler who has the capability of destroying every kind of batting line-up in any game format. Mumbai Indians must be hoping that the Barbados bowler finds his necromancy soon.
Green's versatile abilities
Few young Australian players have attracted as much curiosity in recent years as Cameron Green. No wonder the spotlighted all-rounder turned out to be the the most expensive Australian player in the history of IPL at the time Mumbai Indians bought him for an astounding $3.16 million. However, he started his Mumbai Indians career inauspiciously in a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. A lot will depend on how quickly Green gets to the richest league in the world. His first home match on Saturday is a good opportunity for him to prove that he can handle the Chennai spinners and take a few wickets with the ball.
Majestic Ruturaj
Chennai's expectations will once again stay on the new shoulders of Ruturaj Gaikwad. A majestic timekeeper of the ball, Ruturaj has played some of the most beautiful innings in the last three years in the IPL. One of the stars of CSK's winning campaign in 2021, Gaikwad now carries the light for the young Indian batsmen in the Indian Premier League. After getting scored half-centuries in the first two matches, Ruturaj may look to carry the stimulus to the Wankhede Stadium.
Moeen's magic
Ravindra Jadeja's all-rounder skills may switch the match within the blink of an eye. But in Moeen Ali, Chennai also have an all-rounder who can be equally ruthless in this format of the game. The Englishman was yet to fire a shot with the bat in the first two matches, but it was his four wickets in the second match that decisively turned the match in Chennai's favour. This is exactly the resource that MS Dhoni requires against a team like Mumbai Indians in a distant match.
