Hyderabad: Any game involving Mumbai Indians is a big draw. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni of Chennai Super Kings are equally big drawcards, but with both not scheduled to play at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium this season, Hardik Pandya ’s Mumbai Indians will be on parade with their star cast of Rohit Sharma , Suryakumar Yadav , local lad Thakur Tilak Varma and Jasprit Bumrah .
The return leg of the Sunrisers Hyderabad-Mumbai Indians rivalry has more in it for the visitors than the beleaguered hosts, who clearly looked out of depth at the Wankhede after the high of an eight-wicket win chasing down Punjab Kings’ 245/6.

Such highs and lows, in fact, have been the story of Sunrisers this season. They have raised expectations only to falter. The fine run that culminated in a runners-up finish last season was rooted in home domination — the Sunrisers had won five of their seven matches at home, losing only one, while a match against Gujarat was abandoned.
This season, SRH have won two and lost two at home and also lost all three away games so far. The team seems to be struggling on many fronts, from the indifferent form Travis Head to their inability to cope with slow surfaces.
If inspiration is what they need to better their standing of 14 defeats in 24 encounters against MI, SRH need to look no further than their rivals, who have improved their position with three straight wins. MI were impressive in their nine-wicket win over CSK, with Rohit (76*) and Yadav (68*) looking ominous.
Likely XII: MI: Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma/Vignesh Puthur.
SRH: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins , Harshal Patel, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami, Eshan Malinga, Abhinav Manohar/Wiaan Mulder.
