Kyle Jamieson

Kyle Jamieson was dropped in the previous game and Tim David was bought in on his behalf. However, the move did not benefit the team. Tim lost his wicket for just 1 run off 3 balls. In bowling, pacer Navdeep Saini emerged expensive due to which he was only allowed to bowl 2 overs. Hence, the team will stick to Kyle Jamieson who will be very helpful in the bowling department.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga has not been quite effective for RCB in IPL 2021 so far. The team signed him to replace Adam Zampa in the squad. In the 2 games so far, Hasranaga has remained wicketless while also getting hit for big shots. However, the team might give him more chances in the tournament.

Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj will also bag a spot in the RCB’s playing XI against MI. In 9 games, the right-arm pacer has scalped 6 wickets and bowled at an economy of 7.29. He picked a three-wicket haul in one game and has bowled quite well so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal
