IPL 2022: Three players to watch out for in Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians clash

Mumbai Indians will be locking horns with the Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 27. Both teams will be geared up to begin the new season after having rebuilt their respective squads at the two-day IPL 2022 mega auction in Bengaluru last month. While MI will be banking on home advantage, DC would be eager to start their campaign with a win under their belt.

As both teams get set to lock horns this weekend, all eyes will be on some of the key players who will be expected to come out all guns blazing in the contest. They are some of the seasoned performers who have turned out to be the match-winners for their respective franchises in the past.

Here’s a look at three of those star players to watch out for.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has been one of MI’s most consistent performers in the last few years. In fact, the India pace spearhead has been an integral part of the franchise’s five IPL title triumphs between 2013 to 2020. Bumrah was retained by the Mumbai Indians for INR 12 crore for this season.

It is to be noted that the 28-year-old had finished as the third-highest wicket-taker in the 2021 season having registered 21 scalps to his name from 14 matches averaging 19.52 and an economy rate of 7.45.

The promising speedster would be hoping to begin his IPL 2022 campaign on a high note when he takes the new ball against Delhi on March 27.
