This match could mark the return of MI's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah after an injury layoff of nearly three months.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will be eager to bring their IPL 2025 campaign back on track when they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium. This match is going to be a special one for all the Indian fans as MI star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been declared fit to play. With his presence confirmed by head coach Mahela Jayawardene ahead of the match, he has easily and well-deservedly stolen the spotlight from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two batting icons who will be battling it out in the match.
India have achieved great success under Rohit Sharma in recent ICC white-ball events, winning the T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy 2025. However, while he has confirmed that he would keep playing ODIs, there is no clarity yet whether he would stay on till the 2027 50-over World Cup. However, former India World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has given a different suggestion to Team India for captaincy. In fact, Kapil's choice for India's next white-ball captain is currently not a captain in any format.
Indian cricket team star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be available for Mumbai Indians' upcoming IPL 2025 encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday. In the pre-match press conference, head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed that Bumrah will be available for the match after a prolonged absence due to injury. Bumrah has been missing in action since the back injury he sustained during the Sydney Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in January this year. Jayawardene confirmed that pacer is looking good in practice and is raring to go for the contest against Virat Kohli and Co.
Hardik Pandya is under a lot of focus after Mumbai Indians' loss against Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2025 match on Saturday. The atmosphere was electric when Mumbai managed to bring the equation down to 29 needed from 12 deliveries in pursuit of a daunting 204-run target in Lucknow's home den. Lucknow skipper Rishabh Pant turned to the franchise's most experienced quick, Shardul Thakur, and handed the responsibility to see off the penultimate over.
Mitchell Marsh continued his great form in Indian Premier League 2025. The right-handed batter smashed a superb 60 off 31 balls against Mumbai Indians in his side Lucknow Super Giants' home match in IPL 2025. Marsh's knock that was laced with 9 fours and 2 sixes played a crucial role in helping LSG set a 200-plus total for MI on Friday. However, it was a massive blunder from MI that helped Marsh play the fiery innings. The right-handed batter could have been dismissed for just 6 runs in the first over of the LSG innings but MI failed to notice an inside edge.
Tilak Varma was retired out in a shocking move during the IPL 2025 encounter between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants on Friday. With 24 runs needed off 7, Tilak decided to leave the field and was replaced by Mitchell Santner. However, the move did not result in a win as Avesh Khan defended 22 runs in the final over to clinch the win for LSG. The move left fans stunned as Tilak was already batting at 25 off 23 balls and there was lot of risk in introducing a new batter in that situation. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh questioned the call and said that he did not agree with it.
Amid backlash over the move to retire out batter Tilak Varma, Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mahela Jayawardene revealed that it was he who made the bold call during an intense run chase. MI's impact substitute Tilak Varma made 25 off 23 balls before he retired out in the penultimate over. Jayawardene took full responsibility for subbing Tilak out, with the latter struggling to middle the ball despite spending plenty of time in the middle. Jayawardene explained he wanted someone "fresh" to have a go at the middle in the death overs
