Hyderabad: Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are favourites against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings in the blockbuster Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) final on Sunday owing to their better record. The IPL final between Mumbai and Chennai will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Ahead of the IPL fan, a fan has drafted a plan for Rohit Sharma and Co. on how to crack the code of defeating the eight-time finalists.
Mumbai are the only side to have a better head-to-head record -- 16 wins and 11 losses -- against MS Dhoni's Chennai who beat Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 2 to qualify for the summit clash.
Mumbai had beaten Chennai in the first qualifier to reach their fourth final.
In a letter shared on social media, the MI fan listed out eight points to get the better of CSK.
Among those, the fan wants Sharma to field six bowlers, one of them being South Africa's Beuran Hendricks.
The fan also suggests that in-form allrounder Hardik Pandya should be given the ball between overs 8-16.
The tweet went viral on social media, further fanning in what is a clash of titans.
Tongue in cheek, CSK Twitter handle alerted head coach Stephen Fleming about the plan.
"Fan made plan to tackle the #Yellove Brigade tomorrow! Bringing the infor-MI-tion to your notice, Super Coach @SPFleming7!" tweeted CSK.
