MI vs CSK Match Prediction Key Performers

Top Batter: Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav is a very exciting batter who plays 360-degree shots. He has played good innings in this season but hasn't converted those innings into big scores. He scored 67 against LSG and 40 against Delhi Capitals. Suryakumar has played innings where MI was under pressure making him a reliable player. He is smart and bats fearlessly. He is one of the most dangerous players in Mumbai Indians’ squad. He is the top run scorer for Mumbai Indians and fifth top in the orange cap list.

Top Bowler: Noor Ahmad

Noor Ahmad is a young spinner who is bowling very smartly for CSK. He took 2 wickets against RR and gave just 13 runs in 4 overs vs LSG, which is amazing in T20 cricket. Noor has a mystery in his bowling making it hard for the batter to hit him. He bowls quick spin and tricky variations to make it harder and harder for the batters against him. Noor remains calm and composed under pressure which makes him a good choice for the captain to trust upon. Noor is becoming a key bowler for his team this season having placed second in the purple cap list.
