The former skipper, who picked up the issue against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has only managed light training, leaving his participation in doubt for the crucial clash at the Wankhede Stadium.IPL 2026: Points Table | ScheduleMumbai's campaign has failed to live up to expectations despite a promising start, with three consecutive defeats exposing key weaknesses. Their biggest concern has been the powerplay, where they have managed just three wickets across four matches. Even spearhead Jasprit Bumrah remains wicketless, while support from Trent Boult and Hardik Pandya has been underwhelming.The batting unit has struggled similarly, failing to capitalize on field restrictions. This has placed added pressure on the middle order, with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma yet to find consistent form. The absence of Will Jacks has further disrupted the balance.In contrast, Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, have looked dominant. Their aggressive approach, highlighted by a 93/0 powerplay against Sunrisers Hyderabad, underlines their strength. With Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya firing at the top, PBKS enter as clear favourites despite Arshdeep Singh's modest returns so far.
