Mumbai Indians finished the league phase of the tournament as table-toppers and are looking like the most stable side in the tournament. They lost their last game of the campaign but, they will welcome their key bowlers in this game which will certainly strengthen the team. The arrival of Rohit Sharma is certainly a big plus for the side as he is the captain of the side and is a top player as well.

MI vs DC Team Wicket-Keeper

He is going to be an asset in this game at the number 3 position.
Rohit Sharma (Price 10) and Suryakumar Yadav (Price 9) will be our batsmen from the Mumbai Indians. Rohit is back in the side and is going to be an automatic pick considering his quality with the bat whereas, Surya is one of the most consistent players of the side and has scored at an average of 41. He is an asset at the number 3 position and was really good in the last game as well.
MI vs DC Team All-Rounders
