The big day for Mumbai Indians (MI) is here as the pace spearhead Jofra Archer has made his return for the game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) after recovering from an elbow injury. The star pacer replaces Riley Meredith in the eleven as MI's skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bowl at Wankhede Stadium.
On the other hand, Punjab will again be led by English all-rounder Sam Curran as regular captain Shikhar Dhawan is still unavailable owning an injury. However, the return of Liam Livingstone who came in the last game is a massive boost for them.
Archer, meanwhile, will be supported by the left-arm pace of Jason Behrendorff along young Arjun Tendulkar and Cameron Green in the pace bowling department.
MI did very well in the last game as they managed to defend their score against SunRisers Hyderabad whereas Punjab lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore at Mohali.
