It can be another nightmare for Mumbai Indians. Fresh off with 2 defeats, Hardik Pandya and Co are set to meet Rajasthan Royals in their next IPL 2024 encounter. But for the hosts, it will be another meeting with Jos Buttler. The English batter has a tremendous record against MI and boasts of having an average of almost 70 against the 5-time champions.
It hasn’t been an easy campaign for Mumbai Indians. The Blue Army lost to GT followed by another loss to SRH in their previous game. Desperate for a win, a roadblock in the name of Jos Buttler stands in front of MI.
Buttler has amassed 485 runs in 9 games against Mumbai Indians. The destructive English opener has gone on to slam 4 fifties and a mega hundred against MI. This means, it can be a Jos Buttler show again at the Wankhede.
