Based on their last confirmed lineup against RR, here is the most likely XI:
- Rohit Sharma
- Ryan Rickelton (wk)
- Tilak Varma
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Hardik Pandya (c)
- Naman Dhir
- Shardul Thakur or Will Jacks
- Deepak Chahar
- Allah Ghazanfar
- Trent Boult
- Jasprit Bumrah
Why this XI?
Rohit Sharma has been in sublime form this season, with scores of 78 and 35 so far. Ryan Rickelton will look to provide a brisk start at the top.
Suryakumar Yadav is the danger man in the middle. He always poses a threat in the middle overs and has the ability to take any attack apart when he gets going.
The pace trio of Bumrah, Boult, and Chahar gives MI genuine weapons. Jasprit Bumrah provides both control and wickets. Trent Boult offers support with the new ball.
One selection call to watch: Will MI bring in Will Jacks for the extra batting depth, or stick with Shardul Thakur’s seam options? Given Wankhede favors pace in the first six overs, Shardul is the likelier pick to hold his place.
No major injury concerns have been reported for Mumbai Indians ahead of this match.
