CSK Predicted XI vs MI: CSK are hoping to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Both the Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians have had such bad seasons that their playoff chances appeared to be over even before they met this season. MI are now officially out of the race, leaving CSK with the slimmest of mathematical chances.

However, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out for the same reason, which may have dealt a blow to the team. Jadeja hasn’t been at his best with the ball or bat this season, but he is still an important part of the team. He had also missed the previous match, but the M S Dhoni-led side will take heart from their 91-run win over the Delhi Capitals in their last outing and hope the batters can build on their outstanding performance.

Devon Conway, the opening batsman, has hit three consecutive half centuries. With his whirlwind 87, he tore apart the Delhi Capitals attack and will need to provide an aggressive start alongside fellow opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has found form as well but can be more consistent. The last time these two sides met, Dhoni, dubbed “the best finisher,” sealed the game on the final ball.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway are the starters.

Changes in the playing XI: CSK are known for trying to avoid making as many changes as possible, so it’s unlikely that they’ll make any changes after their dominant win in their last match.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
