Delhi: Fans are waiting for the 'El Clasico match' in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). This match will be played on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and in such a situation the fans are expecting a great batting performance. Both the teams have a line-up of big hitters. Mumbai Indians (MI) have 'big' hitters from Ishan Kishan to Romario Shepard, while on the other hand, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have aggressive batsmen like openers Rachin Ravindra, Shivam Dubey and MS Dhoni.

Meanwhile, before today's match, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has named the player whom Mumbai Indians should really fear. This player is none other than Shivam Dubey of Mumbai. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “There is a boy in the Chennai team. His name is Shivam Dubey. He is actually from Mumbai. The sixes he hits go a long way. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits two or three sixes on Marine Drive outside Wankhede. One at the church gate and one at the Air India building, so I think he is a real threat to Mumbai.”
