- Jasprit Bumrah

Team Strategy: The Mumbai Indians have turned things around in style by winning the last 4 games and coming into the top 4. Most of their batters are in form, and two successive fifties by Rohit Sharma will give them a lot of cheer.
Mumbai Indians will likely stick with the same XI with which they defeated SRH in the previous game
