IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians To Be Without Star Pacer vs KKR; "Tough To Plan" For Rinku Singh, Admits Tim David

15.04.2023 - 13:37 sports.ndtv.com

Mumbai Indians are expected to take the field without their ace fast bowler Jofra Archer in their fourth match of the Indian Premier League against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai on Sunday afternoon.

Archer has missed the last two games for Mumbai Indians having played the season-opener in Bangalore on April 2, as a fresh trouble to his elbow has put him on the sidelines.

The unavailability of Archer has certainly compounded MI's troubles who have one win to show from three games so far, with their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah also missing the entire IPL 2023. "At the moment Jof is being managed by the medical team and I am not a part of those conversations.

Whenever they have him ready to play he will be ready to go," Mumbai Indians and Australia batter Tim David told the media during pre-match conference on Saturday.
