Jasprit Bumrah vs Virat Kohli battle on the cards as ace speedster declared fit for RCB fixture

The MI-RCB clash at Wankhede Stadium would be a clash between two cricketing titans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but 'Jassi bhai', as Bumrah is affectionately referred to as, might have just stolen the spotlight from these two batting icons as he is set to return to the field for the first time after a 32-wicket Border Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia, which concluded with him walking off the field during the final Test at Sydney due to what turned out to be a stress injury which kept him out of India's white-ball series against England and ICC Champions Trophy, both won by India.

While RCB is placed in the second spot with two wins and a loss and has won both their away games so far against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings , MI is at the eighth spot in the table with just one win and three losses.

Speaking ahead of the match in the pre-match presser, Jayawardene said about Bumrah as quoted by ESPNCricinfo, "He is available, he is training today, and should be available [for RCB game]. He arrived last night, he had his sessions with NCA [now Centre of Excellence] to finalise that, he has been handed over to our physios. He is bowling today, so all good."
