Mumbai Indians will take on struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore in match number 38 of Indian Premiere League 2017 at Wankede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.

Rohit Sharma and his team are most likely to qualify for the play offs this season but it’s a sorry figure for the fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore as with just two wins from nine matches Virat and Co will miss the

Here are the players to watch out for Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers.

Royal Challengers

• Virat Kohli – It’s the batting that has let the RCB down. Their batsmen aren’t crossing even the 100-run mark. Virat and his team are showing some below par batting performance. But it was Virat Kohli who almost contributed half of the runs against Pune. His 55 was the only double digit score in that match. Kohli and other batsmen should play for their pride now because they don’t have a chance for the play offs now.

• Shane Watson – The all-rounder from Australia hasn’t been in best of form this season for RCB. Many times his all round skills haven’t been used. This time Shane Watson should replace Travis Head in the playing XI. His all round skills is what RCB needs. If Kohli picks Watson then he should open the innings with Chris Gayle. This would add more depth in their batting and if Watson opens the innings it would give him a chance to play more balls in this shorter format. And there is no reason to drop such a quality all rounder like him.

• Tymal Mills – The only positive in the squad is their bowling. Players like Tymal Mills are the ones who have given the team and the fans a ray of hope when their batsmen fail. Mills who was out for the last two matches that RCB played should be fit in the game against

• Yuzvendra Chahal –Yuzvendra Chahal is another positive for RCB this season. His variations and length has been his weapon to fox the batsmen. Chahal can be a prospect for upcoming Champions.

Mumbai

• Rohit Sharma – The skipper had a good run against RPS but he failed to deliver against the Gujarat Lions on Saturday. Rohit Sharma will have to be consistent at number 4 for Mumbai Indians or lese it will be difficult to win matches in later half of the

• Jos Buttler – He has been a terrific opener for MI this season. His aggressive opening starts has allowed Mumbai Indians to set and chase some good totals. But he needs to provide such opening bursts if MI want to lift the title for the 3rd

• Harbhajan Singh – The veteran spinner has been good with his line and length. He hasn’t allowed any batsmen to get away till now. Rohit and Co will hope that he continues to do the same.

• Krunal Pandya - The youngster has been the find for Mumbai Indians this season. He has made a good name for himself with his all round skills. Mumbai Indians will want him to do such more valuable efforts. He might be in the fray for Champions Trophy selection as
