New-look squad, same old story at the start of an Indian Premier League season. Mumbai Indians has yet again had an underwhelming start to its campaign. With the squad appearing to be far from being a potent force, it will be interesting to see if it can open its account against a recharged Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday night.

Three nights after being hit hard by Pat Cummins’ hurricane knock, Mumbai Indians will return to the Maharashtra Cricket Association’s International Stadium. The MI bowling unit, with Jasprit Bumrah as its lone flag-bearer, will be hoping to not let Dinesh Karthik repeat his heroics versus Rajasthan Royals.
