IPL 2021: Rohit Sharma to play next MI match? Here’s official update
The Mumbai Indians team has been the most successful side in the IPL history with 5 wins. They always have lost their 1st league match and then went on to win the trophy. In the last league match, they lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs, in the absence of their top players like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. The top picks from the MI team will be Quinton De Kock and Trent Boult.
Quinton De Kock is a gun player, but hasn’t been upto the mark in this season and hasn’t put one splendid innings yet. He will wish that he gets his form back, just when the team needs it the most. QDK’s help at the scoreboard is very crucial, as he can start attacking and keep the runs coming. In 7 matches, he has scored 172 runs and would look to improve his performance.
A terrific bowler and a quick wicket taker, Boult is a must pick in the Mumbai Indians team’s bowling department, he takes wicket in the powerplay and is a breakthrough bowler for his team. Boult was pretty good in the last game against CSK and picked 2 wickets. In 8 matches in 2021 season, he has scalped 10 wickets and has been successful with the new as well as old ball.
Captain: Rohit Sharma Wicket-keeper: Quinton De Kock Possible Top Four: Rohit Sharma, Quinton De Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan Opening Bowlers: Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah Overseas Players:Quinton de Kock, Trent Boult, Adam Milne, Kieron Pollard
MI Playing 11 (likely)
The Kolkata Knight Riders will look to continue their fine momentum they have generated with the performance in the last league match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The bowlers, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy, and Andre Russell were impressive to contain and dismiss the opposition batters. While, the openers Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer performed quite well to chase down the target in 10 overs.
Varun has been a solid find in the KKR team, he has been picking up wickets in regular intervals. He has been extraordinary with his performance in T20s, and he will be a key player for KKR moving forward and while climbing up in the table. In the last league match, he scalped 3 wickets and now has 10 wickets to his name in the IPL 2021 season.

Dre Russ is a valuable pick, as he tends to bowl well, and is a magnificent striker of the ball. Russell’s ability in both the department, makes him a top pick candidate, where he can grab points in both the places by taking wickets and scoring well, what he does the best. In the last league match, he picked 3 wickets and will be upbeat ahead of this fixture.
Captain: Eoin Morgan Wicket-keeper: Dinesh Karthik Possible Top Four: Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi Pace Bowlers: Tim Southee, Prasidh Krishna Spin Bowlers: Sunil Narine, Varun Chakrvarthy Overseas Players: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, Lockie Ferguson
