What's the first word that comes to your mind when someone mentions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) or Mumbai Indians (MI)? This was the question asked to cricketers of both the Indian Premier League (IPL) teams ahead of their high-octane clash this evening, as the tournament resumes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The answers ranged from "blockbuster" to "rivals", "powerhouse" to "competitive". The official Instagram handle of CSK had put up the post, asking the question, and captioned it, "Respect. Rivalry." However, two MI cricketers - Suryakumar Yadav and Krunal Pandya - steered clear of adjectives and, instead, mentioned the name of their teammate, Kieron Pollard.
