The Caribbean all-rounder’s performances will be vital to Chennai Super Kings' success in the opening fixture. The 2013 and 2015 Purple Cap-winner is the kind of player MS Dhoni will be banking upon this season as well. His four-over spell and useful contributions down the order will be crucial for the Men in Yellow.

Bravo is the highest wicket-taker in the matches between these two top sides with 30 wickets, with his best figures against Mumbai being 4/42 which he picked up in the 2013 finals at Kolkata. In the process, he became the first Chennai bowler to claim four wickets in a match against Mumbai.

His slower deliveries and cutters make him an ideal death bowler in T20s. Bravo, who always loves wearing the yellow jersey, will undoubtedly be the one to watch out for when he takes the field against the defending champions and his former franchise - Mumbai Indians.
