With the high-stakes "El Clasico" between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) scheduled for tonight, May 2, at Chepauk, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared a major update regarding the availability of two of the game’s biggest icons
Despite intense fan anticipation for a homecoming at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Ashwin believes MS Dhoni is "100% unlikely" to play in tonight's clash.
Beyond the injury updates, Ashwin urged the CSK management to provide stability to their batting order. Ashwin suggested that Sarfaraz Khan should be locked into the No. 3 spot. He advised against using Sarfaraz as a mere "Impact Player," noting that apart from Sanju Samson, Sarfaraz has been Chennai's most consistent performer this season.
The Stakes for Tonight
Tonight's match (Game 44 of 70) is a virtual knockout for Mumbai Indians, who currently sit at the bottom of the table. For CSK, a win is essential to keep their playoff hopes alive, as they currently languish in 7th place with just three wins from eight games.
