Mumbai Indians face RCB at Wankhede as Jasprit Bumrah nears return; Rohit Sharma’s availability stays unsure forward of the conflict.
In the 20th match of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians are all set to play their second home match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The biggest headline for this match is Jasprit Bumrah’s comeback. The backroom coach mentioned that he might play in the match. Let’s see how the new playing XI for Mumbai Indians will shape up.
Bumrah to be in Playing XI
After joining the Mumbai Indians squad, it’s quite certain that Bumrah might play against RCB. Even coach Mahela Jayawardene mentioned that Bumrah is available, but they need to assess his bowling fitness again before deciding his place in the playing XI. If he comes into the lineup, he might replace Deepak Chahar. Ashwani Kumar is currently in good form, having taken 5 wickets in 2 matches so far.
Will Rohit Sharma play?
It seems like Rohit Sharma might not play as he is still not fully fit. In the press conference, Mahela Jayawardene stated that they have to assess Rohit’s fitness. It seems uncertain that he will feature in the match. In this case, Will Jacks is expected to open with Ryan Rickelton.
Vignesh Puthur vs RCB?
Mumbai Indians player Vignesh Puthur might play the match against RCB. He could come in as an impact player for the team. It also seems like Raj Angad Bawa might get a place in the playing XI again.
