The Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians meet again at the Wankhede Stadium in what promises to be an eye-catching encounter. The previous occasion where the two sides met, Kings XI Punjab’s top-order made light work of a challenging total set by the Mumbai Indians.
However, with Mumbai needing a win, they would be desperate to make their way up the points table. And with that said, Mumbai Indians will be hoping to bring about the best line-up possible.
Mumbai Indians Predicted 11 today:
Rohit Sharma (c):
The Mumbai Indians skipper has not had the type of season he would wat to have, and the team will be desperate for him to get the runs going. The team depends heavily on Sharma, and he will be the danger man for Punjab.
Quinton de Kock (wk):
The South African wicket-keeper scored a brilliant 39-ball 60 the last time he faced Kings XI Punjab. With Mumbai being more batting-friendly, more fireworks can be expected from the left-hander.
Suryakumar Yadav:
The right-hander has not been in the best of forms lately and that has hurt the Mumbai Indians. However, there is no question over the abilities of Yadav, and he will be hoping he can translate that ability into runs.
Ishan Kishan:
Replacing Yuvraj Singh in the previous game was Ishan Kishan, who was looking good on a tough pitch before he was run-out. Kishan has played well in the past in the IPL, and he will be looking to continue that form into the match against Punjab.
Kieron Pollard:
The big West Indian scored a brilliant 42-ball 46 in tough conditions against the SunRisers in the previous game. However, his hard-hitting ability can also not be questioned and he will be an integral part of the middle-order for Mumbai.
Krunal Pandya:
The left-handed all-rounder has not yet shown the promise he did in the previous seasons. Krunal, however, is a handy batter and bowler, and will be crucial, with the Kings XI line-up featuring a lot of players that struggle against spin.
Hardik Pandya:
The younger Pandya is known for his big-hitting as well as his handy bowling towards the middle and death overs of the innings. Hardik has always been and will again be crucial against the Kings XI at the Wankhede.
Rahul Chahar:
The young leg-spinner bowled brilliantly against the SunRisers, picking up 2 wickets for just 21 runs in his four-over spell. His brilliant variations make the 19-year-old a player to watch out for in the clash against Punjab.
Alzarri Joseph:
Making his IPL debut, only a few could imagine picking up the best-ever figures in IPL history. Breaking a 11-year record, Joseph picked up 6 wickets for just 12 runs in his IPL debut against Hyderabad. With that said, he will be an automatic choice against Punjab.
Jason Behrendorff:
The left-handed pacer from Australia has bowled brilliantly for the Mumbai Indians in the recent past. His ability to swing the ball early makes him an incredible option for Rohit, who will be hoping to use him well against the big-hitters Kings XI possess.
Jasprit Bumrah:
The right-handed pacer will also be an automatic choice for Rohit Sharma. Bumrah’s incredible bowling statistics over the past few years have made him one of the best in the business, and the Kings XI Punjab will be vary of the threat he possesses.
