Chennai Super Kings are hosting Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for the second ‘El Classico’ of Tata IPL 2023.

The Super Kings have retained the same eleven from last game for this clash which means left-arm seamer Akash Singh isn’t a part of the eleven.

CSK vs MI: Why is Akash Singh Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

Akash Singh the left-arm seamer from the Indian U-19 contingent of 2021 had an impressive start to his IPL career with CSK this season. He came as an injury replacement of Mukesh Chaudhary in CSK’s setup and grabbed the opportunity with both hands by scalping 5 wickets from 6 matches. He played almost every game until Deepak Chahar was out injured, but once Chahar returned from injury in the last game against LSG, Akash had to be sidelined. Check what MS Dhoni said at the toss,

“We’ll bowl first. A bit of rain expected, that’s one reason, looks like a good wicket and we want them to set a target for us. Every individual has worked well, everyone can show some attention on the field, we’ve improved every game, there have been some slip ups, but we need to finish well. We’re playing with the same squad.”
