Today at IPL 2022, CSK vs MI: With Ravindra Jadeja out, Mumbai look to spoil Chennai's playoff chances

Today at IPL 2022, CSK vs MI: Chennai Super Kings will take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday hoping to salvage some pride in an otherwise dismal season.

Four-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have the opportunity to spoil Chennai Super Kings' party and send the Ravindra Jadeja-less side packing when the two giants of the league face each other in an IPL 2022 match at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Jadeja was ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2022 with a rib injury, confirmed CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan on Wednesday, 11 May. The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder has had a poor time with bat and ball this season: in 10 matches, he managed only 116 runs and took just 5 wickets.

While the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are out of contention, CSK only have a mathematical possibility of making the last four as they languish in ninth place with just eight points from 11 outings. The Super Kings are heading into the match after beating the Delhi Capitals by 91 runs in their previous encounter.

Their charismatic batter from New Zealand, Devon Conway, has been in good form and has scored three consecutive half-centuries. Dwayne Bravo leads the charts with the ball and has scalped 16 wickets thus far.

When these two sides met each other last time, a Dhoni special helped the Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by three wickets. Dhoni scored 16 runs off the final four deliveries to help his side past the finish line.

In the 15 matches that have taken place in this stadium, the team chasing has emerged triumphant on eight occasions, with the average first innings score at this venue this season being 173.
