The Mumbai Indians are slowly turning into a team of one-man shows. Jasprit Bumrah, with the ball has been a class apart, but the rest of his bowling partners cannot support him. With the bat, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are getting some really good starts as well. The middle-order, though has its inconsistency, proving to be an issue for Mumbai.
The Punjab Kings, too has some concerns. They are without Shikhar Dhawan, while Jonny Bairstow continues to struggle for form. Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma though, are helping with their batting depth, which has worked really well for the unit.
