2 changes Mumbai Indians could make for their next game against SRH

It was a close loss for Mumbai Indians in the first game of IPL 2024 for them. A few of the tactical decisions by the franchise did not meet the expected results. While the management would want to correct that, at the same time, they will want to arrive at the perfect team combination. The next game for the franchise will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27th. It will be an important game for them. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two changes Mumbai Indians could make for their next game against SRH.

1) Kwena Maphaka for Luke Wood

Kwena Maphaka is the replacement for Dilshan Madushanka for IPL 2024. He is a youngster and was in brilliant form in the recent U19 World Cup. Called the next Kagiso Rabada, Maphaka is someone who is very exciting and has tremendous potential in multiple phases of the game.

With Luke Wood not doing well in the first match, MI could be tempted to hand a debut to Maphaka. In the recent past, MI has been known to introduce some fine young South African talent. Maphaka, if he realizes his potential, can be a solid investment. Hence, he could get an early chance.

2) Shreyas Gopal for Piyush Chawla

Shreyas Gopal for Piyush Chawla is one of the changes Mumbai Indians could make for their next game against SRH. Yes, it may be too early to make this change but Mumbai will be keen to test all the combinations as early as possible.
Piyush looks unfit and was also expensive in the first game. He also could not do well with the bat. Shreyas Gopal has also been in decent touch and if he can find success, it will be a boost for MI in the spin department. Hence, this change is very much on the cards.
