With Hardik Pandya unavailable, Mumbai Indians (MI) will be led by Suryakumar Yadav in their opening match. South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch, who played a key role in MI Cape Town’s SA20 triumph, is a strong contender to fill Hardik’s role unless MI opt for an extra overseas spinner in Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Meanwhile, Satyanarayana Raju, who impressed as a death bowler in the Andhra Premier League, could be brought in as an Impact Player when MI bowl. The 25-year-old was among the first to bowl in the team's net session on the eve of the game.

MI Probable XI:

1. Rohit Sharma, 2. Ryan Rickelton (wk), 3. Tilak Varma, 4. Suryakumar Yadav (capt), 5. Naman Dhir, 6. Robin Minz, 7. Mitchell Santner, 8. Corbin Bosch/Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 9. Deepak Chahar, 10. Karn Sharma, 11. Trent Boult, 12. Satyanarayana Raju/Ashwani Kumar
