- Captain: Hardik Pandya

- Home Ground: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
- Best Finishes: Champions in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020

Key Stats:
-
PowerPlay Dominance
- Jasprit Bumrah has been amazing in the PowerPlay since 2023, with an economy rate of 5.28 and a high dot-ball percentage (63.8%). In IPL, his economy is 6.00. Trent Boult is also strong in the PowerPlay with a combined economy rate of under 6.5 between the two in the last two years. Together, they are a powerful new-ball duo.
-
Explosive Top Order
- Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav have been aggressive with a combined strike rate of 150.62 in the first 14 overs. This makes MI’s top order dangerous, especially with players like Ryan Rickelton joining them. They set up a solid foundation for the middle and lower order to score big in the later overs.
-
High Scoring at Wankhede
- Wankhede Stadium is known for high-scoring matches, with teams often scoring over 200 runs. The pitch helps batting, and MI will look to take advantage of this. Due to dew, teams that won the toss usually chose to bowl first in the past seasons.
Predicted Playing XI:

Final Thoughts:
