Coming to the teams, all eyes will be trained on the big guns with fans hoping that Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni can make their return to MI and CSK respectively after their injury setback. Dhoni is yet to play a single match this IPL after getting sidelined with an injury before the start of the season. Rohit had played the first few matches before he was also injured and has missed Mumbai’s last 4 matches. However, both camps have remained mum even one day ahead of the fixture about the availability of these two stalwarts.
