IPL 2018 Match 1

Match starts: 8 pm.

While the Mumbai Indians still managed to retain the core Indian players from past year, experts have been a little wary about the team in IPL 2018. He is an important player of the team. So far CSK has won two times the title victor of IPL in the year 2010 and 2011 and Mumbai Indians has won three times in the years 2013, 2015 and 2017. They have introduced virtual reality in the IPL for the fans who will watch the matches online on Hotstar, the online streaming giant. For the sea of blue the Wankhede Stadium still paints, no other team, apart from Mumbai Indians of course, could’ve claimed to be as popular as CSK here. CSK is one of the most successful IPL team. Last year, R Ashwin and Murali Vijay were ruled out of entire IPL due to injuries suffered in the previous series playing for India team.

Both teams have retained the core of their batting lineups. Chennai’s team has a powerful batting lineup which includes Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina and Kedar Jadhav in top order of the lineup.

Some exciting new faces including D’Arcy Short and Jofra Archer joins a talented bunch of Indian players.

Sky Go is also available on a number of platforms including Amazon Fire devices, iPad, Mac computers and laptops, Playstation 3, PS4 and Xbox One.

The others who will rock the stage before the start of Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians match are actors Hrithik Roshan, Varun Dhawan, Tamannaah Bhatia and Prabhu Deva. Lendl Simmons, Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu played crucial roles in setting up a huge triple digit target for the opponents.

Rohit Sharma scored an 18-ball 15 and never looked at ease when he was at the crease. Kishan, then stuck two boundaries and six off Imran Tahir, as Mumbai amassed 18 runs in the 11th over. For a live match, a user can directly get the scores and say, “Alexa, Ask Mumbai Indians for the latest scores“. Unlike in Chennai, loyalties haven’t been as strong in Mumbai.
