Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to cross swords with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season. MI is coming off a loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Meanwhile, RCB is coming off a thumping defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans (GT). However, RCB has lost just one game; meanwhile, MI has lost three games in the four matches they have played.
It is MI who will be desperate to get a win and break into the first half of the points table. MI will receive a massive boost as star pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be available after recovering from a back injury. His return will bolster the pace attack, who, up until now, were struggling for momentum. It remains to be seen if the talisman's inclusion in the squad will prove to be the X-factor for MI.
MI vs RCB Match Preview
Jasprit Bumrah is BACK, and that is the biggest news from the MI vs RCB clash. MI's attack will be deadly with his presence, and his pairing with Trent Boult is what everyone is interested to see. Although Boult has looked scratchy, it remains to be seen if the star Indian speedster's presence gives him the edge to perform at his deadly best. The bigger concern for MI will be their form of top-order batting. Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav have not fired consistently, and that would be a huge concern for MI.
However, MI will take a lot of heart out of the fact that they have unearthed two new youngsters, Vignesh Puther, and Ashwani Kumar. These two newcomers' performances have been a huge plus for MI.
The Rajat Patidar-led side started the IPL 2025 season with two wins on the bounce, but a slight hiccup at the hands of GT will be bogging them. For RCB, the biggest concern has been to crack the formula of winning at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. They lost their only match so far in the IPL 2025 season in Bengaluru. However, they are playing MI in Wankhede, and RCB's two wins have come at away venues this season. RCB's batting has looked deadly, with the likes of Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, and Rajat Patidar striking above 150. Virat Kohli has looked a bit patchy, but write off the superstar at your peril.
RCB's bowling is a lot better this year, with the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yash Dayal firing in unison. Their spin attack is a bit weak, but Krunal Pandya's form should be a big relief for the team.
