Mi vs RR: Hardik Pandya to go with the same play?
Mumbai Indians made two changes in their previous match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Mitchell Santner was injured, thus making way for Debut Corbin Bosch. In addition, Karn Sharma came for Vignesh Puthur. There is no update on the availability of Santner. Furthermore, Jaipur is not a basis where there will be a massive turn and bounce, so Santner may not need that beloved.
Bosch made a brilliant start in Mumbai, where he first hit a valuable 10-goal 20 before showing the bowling skill of terrible death. He bowled four overs in half of the innings and scored a wicket in only 6.50 economy and also took a wicket. Meanwhile, Karn Sharma is expected to play as the only expert spinner. Could Jack and Naman Dhir also roll their arm when Pandya would need some off-spin against the left hand dominated RR batting lineup.
