Regular skipper Rohit Sharma was missing from the starting eleven of MI as Suryakumar Yadav informed he has a stomach bug. Rohit could be introduced in the game as a 'Impact Player'. Suryakumar Yadav was given the duty to lead the five-time champions Mumbai Indians in absence of Rohit.

Surya won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. Arjun has 12 wickets so far in the T20 career with an economy rate of 6.60. Arjun's specialty is his economy rate as the people who have seen in up close believe he is a very smart cricketer. In the first class format, Arjun has 12 wickets with an economy rate of 3.42 and has also scored 223 runs including a century with 120 as his highest score.
