Jasprit Bumrah, who is yet to take a wicket in IPL 2026, will take the new ball for Mumbai Indians.
He ends his barren run as he strikes first ball with the wicket of Sai Sudharsan, who is caught in the covers for a first ball duck.
That was a wide half-volley and Sudharsan failed to clear the off-side ring with a half-hearted push slicing a simple catch to debutant Krish Bhagat.
After five wicketless matches, Bumrah registers his first wicket of the season after a long wait of 114 balls.
He nearly strikes again next ball as new batter Jos Buttler is beaten on the outside edge by the length ball moving away.
Buttler leaves the next followed by a block and he takes a single to deep point to get off the mark and Gill watchfully defends the last ball.
