New Delhi: Hello and welcome to the zeenews.com updates. With India's T20 League going to begin from today, we will be providing you with important updates from the first game between MS Dhoni led Chennai and Rohit Sharma's Mumbai. For the starters, Mumbai won the league last year while Chennai are making a return to the league after a period of two years after having served a ban following the spot-fixing scandal. However, Chennai and Mumbai have played 22 matches against each other in the past and Mumbai won 12 while Chennai won 10 games. At the Wankhede Stadium also, the two teams have played 7 matches at the ground out of which Mumbai has won 5 while Chennai has won 2.
Chennai skipper MS Dhoni is the most-experienced captain in T20 cricket having led in a total of 239 T20 matches so far. Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma has also had a steady role to play in the success of the team. Sharma has led Mumbai to win 3 titles so far. Interestingly, both the captains have played exactly the same number of matches in the League.
In the previous 10 seasons, Mumbai have never had a good start, having lost opening matches in five seasons. Rohit and team will be desperate to alter this record on Saturday when they come to the field to play the opening fixture of the 2018 season. Chennai, on the other hand, would want to mark their return with an emphatic victory.
