Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024: Predicted Playing XIs Of Both Teams

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Having won one game out of four, MI are placed eighth in the IPL 2024 standings. On the other hand, RCB are placed ninth in the IPL 2024 standings with two points on the board after winning only just one match out of five games. Ahead of a high-octane clash, we look at the predicted XIs of both sides.

MI Predicted XI

Rohit Sharma

Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has had a good start to the IPL 2024. The star opening batter has scored 118 runs in four innings this season. His form will be crucial for MI's success against RCB on Thursday.

Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper)

Hard-hitting batter Ishan Kishan has struggled in the top-order in IPL 2024 so far. Having scored only 92 runs in four matches, Ishan has failed to find a rhythm with the bat. The southpaw was MI's second-highest run-scorer with 454 runs in 15 matches last year.

Suryakumar Yadav

The National Cricket Academy has cleared MI's talisman, Suryakumar Yadav, and the swashbuckling batsman has joined the Mumbai camp ahead of the last match against DC. Though he did not make an impact in the previous match, he will attempt to rebound in this one.

Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma has been one of the shining lights for Mumbai this year. The southpaw has scored 127 runs in four innings at an impressive average of 31.75 and will be gearing up to perform against RCB.

Hardik Pandya (captain)

Mumbai Indians' new skipper Hardik Pandya has failed to convert quick starts into big scores this year. The right-hander has scored only 108 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 138.46.
