Mumbai Indians have had a disastrous start to the season so far, losing both their games. As a result, they are placed just above Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the points table.

One of the big inclusions in the team will be Suryakumar Yadav, since he can bolster the batting order. However, bowling remains MI’s big concern, as the team lacks a spinner in the middle overs.

KRR on the other hand, are on the second spot and have won two out of three games. The team is riding high on performances by Andre Russell and Umesh Yadav. While Russell is leading the list of maximum six-hitters, Umesh Yadav tops the Purple Cap table. The pacer scalped 4 wickets in his last match to limit Punjab Kings to 137. Yadav has had a great start in the series do far, and can prove lethal for MI.
