IPL 2018: Match 23, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - Mumbai Indians Predicted XI

The reigning champions, Mumbai Indians will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in their home ground of Wankhede on Tuesday evening.

The defending champions haven’t got off to an ideal start in IPL 2018. However, they will aim to rise from the ashes to make a comeback into the season.

Rohit Sharma-led team is known to bounce back. They have shown that on multiple times in the folklore of the IPL. Men in Blue have won a solitary match, and they have lost four games thus far. The hosts will be up against a team who had already defeated them in the season earlier.

Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s last match against each other had gone down to the wire.

Billy Stanlake had scored the winning runs when one run was required from the last ball. We can expect a similar contest between the two powerful sides of the IPL. Meanwhile, today is Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday, and Mumbai Indians would like to give a winning gift to their mentor.

Here is a look at the Predicted Playing XI of the Mumbai Indians

Evin Lewis 

Evin Lewis didn’t have the best outing in the last match. The Windies southpaw got dismissed on the first ball without troubling the scorers.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav continued his good form in the season. The right-hander scored a fine 72 off just 47 balls. The Mumbai Indians opener has scored 196 runs thus far in the tournament.

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan has had a good couple of good partnerships with Suryakumar Yadav. The wicketkeeper-batsman scored a 42-ball 58 in the last game.

Rohit Sharma

The Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was unfortunately run-out in the previous game on zero. The flamboyant batsman is leading the side well.

However, the team has not been able to finish their innings on a high.

Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard wasn’t able to give a finishing touch to innings in the last match. The pitch became difficult to bat, and Rajasthan Royals bowlers didn’t let Pollard off the hook.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya failed with the bat in the last match, but he was able to chip in with the ball. The all-rounder was not able to defend the target in the final over of the previous game.

Krunal Pandya

The elder Pandya had a similar day at the office like his younger brother. Krunal scalped one wicket but was not able to contribute with the bat in the final stages of the MI innings.

Mitchell McClenaghan

Mitchell McClenaghan was on the expensive side in the last match. The Kiwi fast bowler conceded 32 runs in the three overs he bowled. However, the southpaw was able to bag one wicket.

Mayank Markande

It was a surprise that young lad Mayank Markande went wicketless in the last match. The leg-spinner bowled only two overs in the previous game and conceded 15 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah 

Jasprit Bumrah conceded 18 runs off the penultimate over, and that changed the match on its head. The talismanic bowler continues his struggle with the no-ball.

Mustafizur Rahman

Bangladesh’s fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman conceded 35 runs in his quota of four overs. The left-handed bowler also scalped one wicket.
