IPL 2023: 3 Players Who Will Be Crucial for Mumbai Indians to Win MI vs SRH Match No. 69

IPL 2023: The five-time champion Mumbai Indians have the last chance to make it to the playoffs of the ongoing season. For that, they need to win their last group game. MI is currently at 14 points in 13 games with a NRR of -0.128. They will play their last group game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

If MI loses this game, they will be out of the tournament. But they need to win the game by a healthy margin because RCB and RR are also on 14 points with a better NRR. However, it might not be easy, as SRH is already out of the competition, and they will look to spoil MI’s party. But MI at home is one of the strongest sides. So we are in a cracking contest. In this article, we will talk about three crucial players for Mumbai in MI vs SRH Match No. 69.

IPL 2023: 3 Key Players for Mumbai Indians in MI vs SRH Match No. 69

3. Rohit Sharma

The MI skipper hasn’t been in great touch this season. Rohit Sharma has struggled and has not performed as expected. But it is the perfect time to regain his form. However, Rohit has looked good in the last two games. He is coming off 37 from 25 and 29 off18. Everyone is aware of what Rohit brings to the table.

So far, he has scored 257 runs at an average of 19.77 and a strike rate of 131.12. He played a good cameo of 28 off 18 last time against SRH. Well, with everything on the line, one can expect him to play a good inning that can take his team to the playoffs. SRH will be happy to see the back of him as early as possible.

2. Ishan Kishan

The star MI opener, Ishan Kishan, has been in fine touch. In fact, he has produced three good knocks in the last three innings, including a half-century against LSG in the last game. The left-hander has been the aggressor for MI in the powerplay and has scored runs against every bowling attack. He will be a tough candidate to bowl against.

Ishan has scored 425 runs this season at an average of 32.69 and a strike rate of 144.56. He has also scored three half-cenutries with 17 sixes. If he gets going, he will surely take MI home. His hitting ability against pace and spin makes him a dangerous batter. That is why he is called “Pocket Dynamo” in the MI camp.

1. Suryakumar Yadav

The biggest name in the MI batting attack and probably the most dangerous batter in the tournament is Suryakumar Yadav. India’s Mr. 360 has been in red-hot form. After struggling at the start of the season, he found his mojo back in the middle. After that, there was no stopping him. He missed against LSG in the last game, and MI lost it.

That is the impact of this man on MI’s success at the moment. Hence, his wicket will be very important for SRH to stay in the game. Surya has made 486 runs in 13 innings at an average of 40.50 and a staggering strike rate of 186.92, with one century, four half-centuries, and 24 sixes. MI will hope he stays on the crease for a while. Because 4-5 overs of Surya’s batting can ensure Mumbai gets the upper hand.
