IPL 2025: Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in MI vs SRH clash

The eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League will get its first encounter between two former Champions, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad Bangalore, in match number 33 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams will want to carry on their winning momentum heading into this fixture. Both the teams got their second win in the tournament in their last fixture. While Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs, on the other side, Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down Punjab’s mammoth 245 runs in just 19 overs. The match is anticipated to be a direct face-off between Mumbai’s top-class bowlers against Hyderbad’s explosive batters. Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad have clashed against each other on the previous 36 occasions. Mumbai Indians hold the bragging rights with 20 victories under their belt compared to Delhi’s 16. Mumbai Indians emerged victorious in the last two encounters. The pitch at Wankhede Stadium tends to assist fast bowlers under floodlights; hence, both teams will be banking on their pacers to help them claim victory.

Here is the list of three bowlers to look out for in this much-anticipated fixture.

3. Jasprit Bumrah

The best bowler in the world across formats played his first game of the season in the last fixture against Delhi. Returning from an injury, the Indian bowling spearhead will have all the spotlight as he takes his mark at Wankhede. Bumrah has a phenomenal record at Wankhede. He has scalped 52 wickets in 43 matches at an economy of less than 8 runs an over.

2. Mohammed Shami

Should SRH win the toss and elect to field, the team will rely on their pacer, Mohammad Shami, to make the most of the swing and seam on offer. Shami hasn’t had the best of seasons so far. He has scalped 5 wickets in 6 innings for SRH. The veteran bowler has been economical at Wankhede across formats and he would be expected to deliver goods come matchday.

1. Deepak Chahar

He has been the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai this season. He is a constant threat for the opposition batters with the new ball. Chahar’s ability to swing the ball on both sides makes him even more lethal in the game’s shortest format. He has scalped 5 wickets in 5 innings so far. He will be the one to watch out for in the first powerplay.
