Playing XI Probables & Impact Subs: MI vs SRH (IPL 2025)
Mumbai Indians (MI) Probable XI
- Ryan Rickelton (WK)
- Tilak Varma
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Hardik Pandya (C)
- Will Jacks
- Naman Dhir
- Rohit Sharma
- Mitchell Santner
- Jasprit Bumrah
- Karn Sharma
- Deepak Chahar
- Trent Boult
Team Strategy: Strong, explosive batting unit that is finding its rhythm. The bowling has been good in patches, with the spinners coming good in their last match win over DC.
Most of their batters found form in the last game, and they would want Rohit Sharma to be amongst the runs. Karn Sharma made a solid return to the side and could very well retain his place.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Probable XI
- Travis Head
- Abhishek Sharma
- Ishan Kishan
- Nitish Reddy
- Aniket Verma
- Heinrich Klaasen (WK)
- Abhinav Manohar
- Pat Cummins (C)
- Zeeshan Ansari
- Harshal Patel
- Mohammad Shami
- Eshan Malinga
Team Strategy: Explosive batting order that found some form finally in this tournament. The bowling department, though, has some international experience,e looked clueless in most games
With a similar sort of pitch expected at Wankhede as it was in Uppal, SRH would likely go in with the same playing XI for this game against MI.
