Players To Watch Out For
Bangalore:
- V. Kohli: The highest run-scorer in tournament history, Kohli will be playing for the first time in front of home fans since 2019. Alongside du Plessis, he is expected to lead fro the front and set the tone for his team’s campaign.
- M. Siraj: The talented fast bowler has been a revelation for Bangalore, consistently picking up crucial wickets in the powerplay and at the death. Siraj’s ability to bowl accurately at high speeds will be crucial for Bangalore’s success.
- F. du Plessis: In his 2nd season as Bangalore captain, Faf would be looking to do one better and reach the Finals on this occasion. He brings in a wealth of experience and his ability to play match-winning knocks makes him vital in the Bangalore batting lineup.
Mumbai:
- S. Yadav: The number 1 T20 batsman in the world, the stylish Surya has been a consistent performer for Mumbai. With an uncanny ability to find gaps and score at a brisk pace, Yadav will be the most important player for Mumbai.
- C. Green: The young Australian all-rounder is an exciting prospect for Mumbai. His hard-hitting prowess and handy medium-pace bowling make him a valuable asset in the T20 format.
- J. Archer: The English pacer is back in the Indian T20 League after entirely missing out on the last season due to back issues. In the absence of Bumrah, Rohit would be hoping Archer to bowl pinpoint yorkers and fiery spells as they aim to start their campaign on a high.
Probable XI
Here’s the probable XI for Bangalore vs Mumbai:
Bangalore: F. du Plessis (c), V. Kohli, S. Prabhudessai, M. Lomror, G. Maxwell, D. Karthik (wk), S. Ahmed, M. Bracewell, M. Siraj, H. Patel, R. Topley
