IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians’ strongest predicted XI against Punjab Kings
The MI lineup will comprise a strong Indian core with a host of international superstars complementing them.
Bowlers: Shardul Thakur, Trent Boult, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah
MI’s bowling has always relied on Jasprit Bumrah, but the renowned pace bowler is yet to deliver this season. He has gone at an economy rate of 8.20, the highest since the 2015 season and is yet to pick up a wicket in four outings.
Shardul Thakur is currently the team’s leading wicket-taker this season, but has conceded runs at 13.45. Trent Boult, meanwhile, has taken just one scalp all season long and is due for a good performance with the new ball.
MI’s predicted playing XI vs PBKS in Match 24, IPL 2026:
Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Trent Boult, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah
Impact Player: Sherfane Rutherford
