IPL 2020: Navdeep Saini Doubtful For Mumbai Indians Clash

It will be a big blow for RCB ahead of their clash against the defending champions in such circumstances.

Saini has also been bowling exceptionally at the death for RCB. Mohammed Siraj who did well his last appearance for the side could well lead the bowling attack for RCB in his absence with Isuru Udana, Shivam Dube as the other bowlers.
