Mumbai Indians is facing Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 20th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, being played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI won the toss and chose to bowl first, and will be aiming to secure a victory as they have lost three of their four matches.
Hardik Pandya announced that both Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah will be making their return in this match. Rohit had missed the previous match due to a knee injury as impact player. On the other hand, Bumrah is returning to the field since the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after which he faced a back injury.
“We are playing good cricket, but it’s just that at certain moments, we are missing out on certain things. If we can look after those, we’ll be able to get the rhythm. Mumbai has been always supporting us. We have made sure that this is our fortress and we kinda defend it. Playing at home makes it different. The crowd is behind you and you are aware of the conditions. Jassie (Bumrah) is back and so is Ro (Rohit). Both of our experienced campaigners are back in the side, that gives us an added fuel,” Pandya said after the toss.
MI Playing XI:
Will Jacks, Ryan Rickleton (W), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deeak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Vignesh Puthur.
