Hardik twisted his ankle while turning to take the second run against CSK. Expect him to be back for tomorrows match versus Delhi DareDevils.

RCB tried to reorganize their bowling attack. The seam attack is better this year but still not upto the mark like that of Hyderabad or Mumbai who have the best bowling attacks this IPL as well. RCB have one of the worst bowling attacks.

Umesh wasn't good for lot of years, but the 2 matches he has played this IPL, he has performed excellently. Khejroliya seems to have dropped the pace after injury. Siraj has good enough pace but then he leaks runs a lot. Saini is not as fast as Umesh Yadav but he is above 140's. He might get few matches. Lets see how he does. Aniket Choudhary is not that good too.

Mumbai versus Delhi. Yes it's true that every season we lose initial few matches and the come back to reach knock offs or win trophies. I remember we lost 5 or 6 initial matches and then rocked the second half of season and went on to win IPL. So i think we will make the knockouts.


Gauti can steer the innings, Shreyas is the local boy playing against us. The Delhi bowling though is very weak. Rahul blowed it by making fastest ever 50 in IPL. With a lineup of Evin, Rohit, Ishan, Surya, Pollard, Hardik i hope it will not be much of a concern today.

Mayank Markande has been an amazing find by Mumbai talent scouts. Great work there by Mahela. He scouts spin talent well (Akila Dhananjaya from club level match also now with Mumbai Indian this yeart and now Mayank Markande of Punjab team who was shortlisted on radar during auditions before IPL). Every pundit thought we were short on spin talent and he has taken 7 wickets in 2 T20's. On some wickets Akila and he will bowl together with Krunal giving some backup overs or even full spell on his day.

Wicket will be the key. Wankhede has give 200 plus due to ground being small. However, on some wickets here the below par scores have happened in past.

why would Delhi leave Morris out? He's one of their retained players so they must think him vital to their campaign

unless he's injured, of course
