Chennai Super Kings have at last won a match and opened its points table. Mumbai is the only team in this season so far to have no wins. Can Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians find their mojo back? Can they be back to winning ways?
Rohit Sharma isn’t in fine form. He is having that 20s and is perishing. Ishan Kishan hasn’t hit the right straps. Surprisingly, Bumrah is expensive. There is a lack of quality in pace and spin as well. However, the Mumbai Indians camp hopes they address their issues fast.
Punjab Kings on the other hand are inconsistent. Their batting has no issues. Perhaps, one of the strongest in this IPL. However, it is bowling that has become a problem for PBKS. Nevertheless, Punjab might not make too many changes to the playing XI.
Mumbai Indians on the other hand might bring back Tymals Mills. They might even give a chance for Fabian Allen because of the plenty of right-handers in the PBKS setup. One of Basil Thampi and Jayadev Unadkat might be left behind. They might even try Mayank Markhande in place of Murugan Ashwin.
Here’s the probable playing XI:
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Fabian Allen, Murugan Ashwin/Mayank Markhande, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Jayadev Unadkat/Basil Thampi
Punjab Kings: Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Odeon Smith, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora.
