Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are all set to battle in Chennai in an IPL 2021 encounter. Skippers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will have a lot to think about ahead of the game. Both teams are coming off losses that featured dismal batting performances. Yet while both have concerns, it is expected that the five-time champions will edge Rahul’s men.
