Suryakumar Yadav will replace Anmolpreet Singh to give MI’s middle-order a much-needed boost. Ishan Kishan did well in the opening, smashing 81 against DC and will continue to open with Rohit Sharma. In the middle-order, Tilak Varma looked in good touch and will retain his place.

- As SKY can take on the opponent bowlers and anchor the innings depending on the situation, he has become the new Mr Dependable.
- With Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan opening and Tilak Varma at No 3, Suryakumar can be easily slotted to No 3 or 4 depending on the situation of the game.
- He has been a revelation in the last two years and has been in good touch.
- He has recovered from a hairline fracture in his hand and has completed his quarantine.

However, it is MI’s bowling that may need some reinforcement. While Jasprit Bumrah off-colour against DC, he is all set to keep his place irrespective of the result. But Riley Meredith is likely to get his MI debut.

Rohit Sharma has two options to get Riley Meredith in Playing XI. Daniel Sams had a terrible game and was the most expensive MI bowler, going at 14.20 economy without any scalp. The other one is Tymal Mills. The England pacer was the only exception who did well to keep DC’s runs in check. As things stand, Riley Meredith will replace his fellow Aussie teammate Daniel Sams. However, the trade-off is Sams’ ability to hit big shots. Meredith isn’t known for his batting and that will be a big miss for MI.
In the spin department, Murugan Ashwin made a fine debut and will keep his place while the grass on DY Patil Stadium pitch will also aid the seamers. Hence, Ashwin is expected to be the sole spinner with help from Suryakumar Yadav as part-time option.
