MI vs DC: Mumbai Indians’ Predicted Playing XI Against Delhi Capitals.

Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals in their final league game of IPL 2022. They lost 10 matches so far, the most by them in any IPL season. The Rohit-Sharma led-side would like to end their campaign with a win as they look to build towards IPL 2023.

Mumbai Indians have tried almost all their players across the league. Arjun Tendulkar is the only nominal name that has missed out on game time this season. He has been with the side since IPL 2021 but yet to make his debut. Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra urged the management to give him a game in this last match. Apart from his inclusion, there are no big changes expected. Jasprit Bumrah, who has played all the matches till now can be rested for this final game as well.

Kishan will open the batting alongside Rohit. The duo have batted well up at the top of the order. The game also gives Kishan an opportunity to score another fifty.

Tilak Varma

In SKY’s absence, he should bat at number three. Verma has already scored 376 runs in 13 matches and has a chance to get to 400 in his debut season for Mumbai Indians.

Arjun Tendulkar

The MI management might try out Arjun Tendulkar in this game. He is an all-rounder and thus might get his chance late with the bat. He provides a left-arm pace option with the ball too.

Murugan Ashwin

Sanju Yadav did not have a good debut game. Mumbai can include Murugan Ashwin in this game in his place. Ashwin played the first few games and bowled economically.

Daniel Sams

Jasprit Bumrah / Basil Thampi / Jaydev Unadkat

With MI already out of the tournament, they can rest lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah in this game and play either Thampi or Unadkat. India will tour England later this year which will be followed by the T20 World Cup in Australia and Bumrah will be key in both those fixtures.
