MI leg-spinner Mitchell Santner may not have picked up as many wickets but has been impressive in his last two games with the ball. In their previous game against SunRisers Hyderabad, he was impactful and returned with figures of 0/19 from four overs.

Mumbai last played against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. Mitchell Santner was effective in that game as well, picking up a wicket and giving away only 14 runs from his three overs.

Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah's return has played a key part in the change of fortunes for MI this season. Bumrah has picked up only five wickets from as many games but has been effective with an economy rate of 7.90.

In Mumbai's previous match at the Wankhede against Chennai Super Kings, Bumrah looked at his best and bowled a top spell. He returned with figures of 2/25 from his four overs.

Jasprit Bumrah is getting into his groove and his presence in itself is a big factor for Mumbai Indians. His ability to pick up wickets upfront and at the death with being able to bowl in all phases will be extremely useful against a batting line-up such as that of Lucknow.
