The Mumbai Indians led by Rohit Sharma got off to a bad start in the Indian Premier League, losing the first match against Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets, but the defending champions regained one in style when they faced Kolkata Knight Riders in their next game. IMs were dominant with the bat, lethal on the ball and energetic on the field.

All of the players have brilliantly fulfilled their assigned roles, and James Pattinson has been a revelation on the ball. There seems to be no reason for MI to make a change against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next game.

Here is MI Predicted XI for the 2020 IPL match against RCB:
1 Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma has found himself amongst the Mumbai Indian races after a while and needs to be in the same line of form throughout the competition. A fit Rohit can take the game away from any opponent at any time.

2 Quinton de Kock: Kock’s Quinton has gotten off to a fast start twice, but needs to continue or he could be replaced by Chris Lynn.
3 Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav has been in fantastic shape so far, and he needs to do more than he is doing. He is IM’s key player.
4 Saurabh Tiwary: Saurabh Tiwary has returned to IPL in style and has had great success in the first two matches. If he continues like this, he could easily be IM’s MVP this season.
5 Kieron Pollard: Any opposition, any day, any time, at any stage of the match, Kieron Pollard can win the match in Mumbai. This is why Rohit trusts him so much.
6 Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya was batting brilliantly against KKR before the ill-fated wicket hit. You need to be sharp and aware of your surroundings.
7 Krunal Pandya: Senior Pandya was a bit of a disappointment with both the bat and the ball in the first IPL game. He couldn’t do much against KKR, but he’s still a mainstay in MI’s game XI.
8 James Pattinson: James Pattinson has started very well for ME and always seems to be on the verge of taking a lead every time he bowls.
9 Rahul Chahar: Rahul Chahar showed what he’s capable of against KKR after a tasteless starter. Chahar collected 2 wickets in four overs and gave only 26 runs.
10 Jasprit Bumrah: By firing Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell in the same trade, Jasprit Bumrah proved he’s back in shape. Watch out, RCB.
11 Trent Boult: Easily the best IM bowler on display in the first two games. Boult will again try to attack early against RCB on Monday.
