LSG vs MI Key Players

Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer has been pretty scratchy this year. The fluency in his scoring has been missing and he has been found out of position often, shuffling up and down the batting order. With a flat deck waiting though, Iyer will be thinking that he has a chance now to find some form.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is the one who has Mumbai will be turning to for something special. His bowling has been really good but without a proper back-up. Bumrah has been unable to exert pressure and force batters to go after him.

MI vs KKR, Battles to Watch

Suryakumar Yadav vs Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine: For a batter who likes to take on the bowlers, Yadav has been pretty quiet against KKR’s spin duo. Both of them often keep him quiet and they will be looking to do the same in the upcoming game.
