Jasprit Bumrah is back for the Mumbai Indians. He is available for the game against RCB on Monday. It is a big boost for MI to have the services of Bumrah. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two players Jasprit Bumrah might replace for the game against RCB.
1) Raj Bawa
The young all-rounder did not have a contribution to show against LSG. He neither bowled nor batted. Therefore, MI might consider keeping him out of the side in the next match.
There is also a chance that MI might have a specialist batter for this slot. However, if MI wants a bowling heavy attack for the RCB game, considering Bumrah might be rusty, they can drop Raj.
2) Ashwani Kumar might be replaced by Bumrah for the RCB game
Ashwani Kumar has had a fine start to his career in the IPL. However, against LSG, he was a bit expensive. This helped LSG get a good score.
Therefore, MI might have Bumrah back in the playing XI for Ashwani. It is unfortunate for the youngster. However, it is a good learning curve for him. He would surely get more chances in the tournament again.
