IPL 2022: ROHIT SHARMA WINS TOSS, ELECTS TO BOWL vs PUNJAB KINGS
(The Quiver): Rohit Sharma won the toss as Mumbai Indians opted to bowl against Punjab Kings in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League. MI is currently the only team without a win in the tournament after Ravindra Jadeja’s Chennai Super Kings registered their maiden victory of the 2022 edition last night (against Royal Challengers Bangalore). The PBKS have been playing an attacking brand of cricket; even as the side, faced a middle-order collapse twice in the season so far due to their ultra-attacking batting approach. Mumbai, meanwhile, have played with a number of overseas combination – playing with only two foreign players in their previous game against RCB; however, nothing has worked out for the side so far.
At the toss, MI skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed that Tymal Mills has returned to the playing XI, replacing Ramandeep Singh. Meanwhile, PBKS remain unchanged from the previous match. With four defeats from as many games so far, MI have a huge task at their hands in order to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the league phase. PBKS, on the other hand, suffered a narrow defeat in their previous match against Gujarat Titans (GT), and will look to get back to winning ways.
