IPL 2025: Predicting MI’s playing XI for their clash against RCB

The five-time IPL champions, the Mumbai Indians, are all set to lock horns against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 20th clash of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on April 7th at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai.

Hardik Pandya and his men are currently at the seventh spot of the points table with just one win and three losses. The side will be looking to win this game to place themselves in the top half of the points table. In the same vein, here is the probable playing XI of the MI side for their clash against RCB in IPL 2025.

Openers: Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton

The two-star batters will be looking to give the side a fine start. Jacks has piled up five runs in the last game. On the other hand, the Proteas batter was out for just ten runs. The duo needs to step up in this game to give the five-time IPL champions a flying start.

Batters: Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma

Naman Dhir was fantastic in the last game as he chipped in 46 off 24 balls, featuring four boundaries and three towering sixes in the game. He will be looking to continue his great form. The Indian T20I skipper has made 67 off 43 balls, featuring nine boundaries and one six in the last game. The stylish right-handed batter can be a game-changer in this game. Verma needs to bolster the middle order for Mumbai Indians in this game.

All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Mitchell Santner

The Mumbai Indians skipper was the star performer in the last game against LSG. The Indian all-rounder has picked up five wickets while hammering a crucial 28 off 16 balls in the last game. Santner is one of the best overseas players the side has purchased. He has great experience in the Indian conditions and can win matches single-handedly.

Bowlers: Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Vignesh Puthur

Boult will be leading the pace attack of the team. The left-arm seamer has been performing well at Wankhede Pitch and might pose a big threat to the RCB batting unit. Chahar has been performing extremely well, with Ashwani and Vignesh stealing the limelight in their debut edition.
