Opting to field first, Mumbai Indians will be banking on pace ace Jasprit Bumrah to rediscover his lethal rhythm as they take on a formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad batting line-up in what promises to be a high-scoring clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Bumrah, returning from a three-month injury layoff, has yet to find the razor-sharp precision that makes him a world-class threat. While he delivered a disciplined performance against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, his struggles resurfaced against Delhi Capitals, where he leaked 44 runs, with Karun Nair dismantling his usually reliable yorkers. Against SRH’s explosive top order featuring Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen, Bumrah will face a stern examination of his skill and stamina.
