Preview
Its been almost five months since the 2020 final, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is back again and set to take center stage. Middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are ready to clash on Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium
Troubles are causing both the teams. RCB’s allrounder Daniel Sams and opening batsman Devdutt Padikkal fell prey to coronavirus. Padikkal is back on the field after recovering but Sams is yet to recover. Australian leggie Adam Zampa won’t be available for the opener either.
Talking about the MI dugout, Proteas keeper Quinton de Kock might not feature in the opening game due to quarantine rules after returning midway from South Africa’s ODIs against Pakistan. But as we know they are five-time champions and keeping in mind that, Mumbai can be said to have the upper hand, though not a whole lot.
