MI Probable XI 

Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (capt), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

MI are expected to go with the same opening pair of Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma. This will be Rickelton’s last game of the season, as he won’t be available for the playoffs.

Rickelton will join the South Africa squad, which is set to play in the World Test Championship 2025 (WTC 2025) final at Lord’s, England, from 11 to 15 June. Like Rickelton, Will Jacks will also play his last game before leaving the tournament for international duty.

Suryakumar Yadav has been the most consistent player, and he is expected to continue his good form. After him, Tilak Varma and skipper Hardik Pandya will follow. Naman Dhir has been brilliant with his quick cameos throughout the season. In the last game against DC, he smashed an unbeaten 24 off just eight balls.

Mitchell Santner will also be in the XI. He is coming into the match after picking up three wickets in the last game. The three pacers will be Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah. Karn Sharma is expected to be the impact substitute.            

Head-to-Head record   

So far, 32 IPL matches have been played between these two sides. MI have the edge with 17 wins, while PBKS have won 14 times. One match ended in a tie. In their last five meetings, MI have won three times, while PBKS have won twice.
