Jasprit Bumrah has really good numbers against RCB. He has scalped wickets at a rate of 1.52 per match against the opposition and last season at the Wankhede Stadium he really troubled the RCB batters scalping a five-wicket haul and finishing with figures of 5/21. It is unlikely he will take the new ball with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar being the offensive option for MI, but he will definitely come in the later half of the powerplay and bowl through the middle and death, making it tough for the RCB batters.
