IPL 2025: Predicting MI’s playing XI for their clash against SRH

Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians started the season with a poor start. In the first game of Mumbai Indians, they lost to Chennai Super Kings and later to Gujarat Titans. However, they got their first win against Kolkata Knight Riders at home. But the team could not keep up the good run as they lost against Lucknow Super Giants. 

After losing two back-to-back games in a row, MI got the win against DC by 12 runs. After a shaky start to the season, MI will be playing another game more carefully to get a chance to play in the playoffs. Mumbai Indians are in seventh spot with four points in six games. They have won two games and lost four. MI will face SRH in match no. 33 of IPL 2025. Both teams have a good line-up and will have a tough fight. 

Top Order:

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton will be the opening pair for Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma looks to struggle to get runs in powerplay playovers. His batting performances have dipped a lot which worries the team. With a lot of experience, he can turn around things quickly. Ryan Rickelton is in good form. In the last game, he scored 41 runs and smashed two sixes. Coming to bat on no. Three-spot Suryakumar Yada helps the team to take charge in power play. With a variety of shots, he can be a game-changer player for the team. 

Middle Order:

Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma took control of the middle order for Mumbai Indians. With his batting skills, he controls the game. In a recent game against DC, he scored 59 runs off 33 balls which helped the team to score 205 runs. In the last two games, he has scored two by-to-back half-centuries. Hardik Pandya comes to support the team if other batters fail. Hardik Pandya can be effective for the team. His batting skills can change the course of the game. He can also be a good bowler for the team in middle overs. Naman Dhir, another all-rounder gives MI batting depth. 

Lower-Middle Order:

Will Jacks

Will Jacks and Mitchell Santner can contribute to the team in both departments. So far, Will Jacks is struggling to find his form but Mitchell Santner is helpful for the team. In the last game Mitchell Santner got rid of Viraj Nigam and with his superb one-handed throw he ran out Mohit Sharma which helped MI in winning the match. 

Lower Order:

Trent Boult

Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar are bowlers who bowl with the new ball for MI. Trent Boult is the most effective bowler as he picks wickets in the first two overs. With Jasprit Bumrah coming back after injury MI bowling attacks look dangerous. 

Impact Player: Karn Sharma brings a lot of experience to the team. In the last game, he was used as an Impact player which was masterstroke by MI. He picked up three wickets in four overs with an economy of 9.0.
