MI Vs PBKS Toss Update, IPL 2026: Punjab To Bat First, Rohit Sharma Misses Out

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 24 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 16.

MI are tottering at the 9th spot in the points table with 2 points from one win in four matches, while PBKS are sitting comfortably at the third spot with 7 points from three wins in four matches.

MI have to figure out many things before the match, especially Bumrah's wicket-taking prowess, which has taken a hit in the tournament so far. Bumrah has been wicketless in the four matches played so far.

Though he has managed to contain the run-rate at crucial junctures of the match, yet MI would want him to take wickets as well, especially when they are looking a bit short on the bowling, with Boult looking just a reflection of his past self.

On the other hand, PBKS have been unbeaten so far in the tournament and would want to continue their winning run in Mumbai as well, which is Shreyas Iyer's home ground in domestic cricket.
