The five-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 41 of the IPL 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on April 29.

The hosts are coming into the contest with a humiliating 103-run loss against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and will be eager to come back to winning ways against SRH. Currently, they are at the ninth position in the points table. Whereas the Pat Cummins side are on a roll currently.

MI Predicted Playing XI vs SRH

Top-order: Quinton de Kock (WK), Naman Dhir

After two consecutive failures since his debut, Danish Malewar is set to be dropped from the playing XI. Rohit Sharma will most likely make his return as an impact sub. He will be opening with Quinton de Kock at the Wankhede. They can be a deadly opening pair on a flat wicket. Naman Dhir will continue to bat at number 3 position. 

Middle-order: Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (C), Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Will Jacks

MI’s batting superstar Suryakumar Yadav will continue to bat at number 4, but his poor form in the middle-overs has been the biggest concern for the five-time champions. Captain Hardik Pandya too, needs to step-up for his team if they want to have any chance of winning this contest.

Tilak Varma has been one of the best batters in the last few matches, including his epic century against Gujarat Titans. The left-hander will play a crucial role in the middle overs. The duo of Sherfane Rutherford and Will Jacks gives this side immense balance with their all-round abilities. 

Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Krish Bhagat, AM Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar

India’s premium pacer Jasprit Bumrah will headline this bowling attack. After a slow start to the season, he has returned to form in the last few matches. He will need to perform with the ball in front of a solid SRH batting unit. Krish Bhagat might get another chance to showcase his talent. AM Ghazanfar will lead the spin department with his mystery spin. Ashwani Kumar adds another dimension to the side with his left-arm pace.

MI Predicted Playing XI

Quinton de Kock (WK), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (C), Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Will Jacks, Jasprit Bumrah, Krish Bhagat, AM Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar

Impact Player: Rohit Sharma
