Looking at the subplots, this contest goes beyond wins, losses and positions on the points table. This bothers the current captain of India, Virat Kohli against Rohit Sharma, his deputy and successor to the T20 captaincy, whom Kohli is set to step down after the World Cup next month.
Both will try to prove their mettle. At the other end, spinner Rahul Chahar, who was picked as the forward Yuzvendra Chahal For the World T20 event, RCB will have a point to prove against the incendiary big guns. Chahal, still smart from the pain of being dropped from the national team, will have to pull himself together after two poor performances in the UAE, especially since he has been the backbone of RCB’s bowling attack for so long.
Jasprit Bumrah Vs AB de Villiers Like Kieron Pollard, the match against Glenn Maxwell will be very exciting.
While Mumbai are habitual winners who often find ways to get themselves out of the woods, RCB will have to find a way to go the other way on the result, losing seven matches in a row in the United Arab Emirates.
In a loss against CSK on the second night, RCB got off to a good start with openers Kohli and Padikkal but slowed down after 10 overs. The big cause for concern would be the middle order, which broke again without a fight against CSK. The bowling attack is also not looking strong at the moment.
Mumbai also has its share of troubles. Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan Will feel the pressure to perform after making it to India’s T20 squad for the World Cup. The tournament will be played at the same venues, so finding form will be important.
