1. Parthiv Patel (WK)
The left-handed batsman will be opening the innings for Mumbai Indians against Rising Pune Supergiant in the first qualifier.
The Gujarat batsman has been in decent form and gave his side some good starts in the tournament.
2. Lendl Simmons
The big hitting West Indies batsman perished for duck in the last game he played against KKR but no one can take him lightly especially when he plays at Wankhede Stadium, where boundaries are shorter.
3. Ambati Rayudu
The right-handed batsman has been a match-winner for the Mumbai Indians for the last three-four seasons. Returning from an injury, Rayudu slammed a brilliant fifty against KKR in the previous game. He will get a place into the side in place of Nitish Rana, who is out of form.
4. Rohit Sharma (C)
The Mumbai Indians skipper hasn't been in the best of his form this year. But no one can take the right-handed batsman lightly given his T20 exploits.
5. Kieron Pollard
The West Indies swashbuckler has been a red hot form this year. Pollard's presence in the side, lower down the order, makes Mumbai team to beat. His 50-run knock against KXIP during run chase of 231, at Wankhede, would still be fresh in the minds of opponents.
6. Hardik Pandya
The all-rounder from Baroda has been a key players for the Mumbai throughout this tournament. Team would once again rely over his batting and bowling exploits against RPS.
7. Karn Sharma
The googly spinner and a handy batsman from Uttar Pradesh has been a consistent performer for Mumbai in this IPL. He would once again be playing against RPS in the qualifier 1.
8. Harbhajan Singh
The veteran off-spinner will be leading the spin department for Mumbai Indians.
9. Mitchell McClenaghan
The New Zealand quick has been in sublime form in the Indian Premier League. Team would be hoping the left-handed seamer once again fires and takes his team to the final.
10. Lasith Malinga
The veteran Sri Lanka pacer may not be in the best of his form and Mumbai knows what he's capable of. Malinga will be playing for the side in the qualifier 1.
11. Jasprit Bumrah
The young India pacer has been the backbone of Mumbai's bowling attack and a vital cog in team's success. Bumrah's ability to bowl yorkers at will makes him a dangerous bowler in the tournament. RPS would be vary of him.
