Tilak Varma is the lone warrior for the Mumbai Indians middle-order. Tilak scored a total of 121 runs in his last three games and will look to do good in upcoming matches.

Bowlers: Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Madhwal

South African pacer Gerald Coetzee picked up three wickets in this tournament so far. After the first match against GT, he was not looking at his best.

He took 3 wickets in the first match against GT but after that he has been wicket less. Mumbai Indians last year’s pace sensation Akash Madhwal picked up three wickets in the last match against Rajasthan Royals. He will like to continue his form in the next match too.
