MI vs BLR Top Picks

• Quinton de Kock. Quinton de Kock has been phenomenal in the last few games. He is stoking the ball beautifully and will pose a big challenge for the RCB’s bowlers.
• Hardik Pandya :.Hardi Pandya blasted a magnificent 60 off 21 in the last game against RR. He can be devastating for MI in the final overs.
• Jasprit Bumrah – The trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and James Pattinson has been spitting venom with their fearsome bowling. Bumrah specifically has been unplayable at time. He will be the key for MI against a strong RCB batting.
• AB de Villiers – AB de Villiers has played some of the finest innings of IPL 2020. He is a quality batsman that can tackle the ferocious pace attack of MI. He’ll be the key for RCB.
• Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli has been on a run feast in the last few games. He is expected to continue his good run against Mumbai too
• Yuzvendra Chahal – Yuzvendra Chahal will be trump card for RCB against Mumbai Indians. The pitch is expected to aid the spinners and Chahal, the class player he is, won’t let the opportunity slip through his hands.
