MI Score When Captain
Jasprit Bumrah arrives at Wankhede for M69 as the man who captained MI to a win in M58 when Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav were both absent, and now leads MI’s bowling attack into a must-win for RR. Riyan Parag’s side need a result to stay in the playoff picture, which means they will chase aggressively and take calculated risks against every bowler in the MI attack. Bumrah’s yorker accuracy and change-up variation have been at their most consistent form this season and a chase-situation at Wankhede is precisely where he operates at his peak. With Hardik’s availability uncertain for MI’s remaining fixtures, Bumrah carries the bowling identity of the team in every meaningful moment. Back him to take wickets in the match where RR have no choice but to take him on.
