#3 Lower Order

In at number 8 will be Mayank Markande. He didn't play in the first game and that simply has to change. MI struggled to pick up wickets in the middle overs against DC and Markande is a genuine wicket-taker. It was not a very wise decision from Rohit to not pick him as leg spinners are game changers in any form of the game.
In at number 9 will be Mitchell McClenaghan. McClenaghan picked up the most wickets for MI against DC, but he wasn't that great at the death. Nevertheless, the New Zealander has been picked in this side to get wickets and he will look forward to doing that against RCB.
In at number 10 will be Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah wasn't that great against DC. He has developed a reputation of being good at the death but he failed to replicate that against DC. He also injured his left shoulder against DC, but it seems he is going to be fit against RCB. He needs to come back to his best as a lot rests on his shoulders from MI's bowling point of view.
In at number 11 will be Lasith Malinga. MI went for batting depth over bowling quality against DC and that cost them as Rohit didn't have 5 quality bowlers to bowl the 20 overs. Malinga is expected to return to the MI team and his experience will only help Rohit and company.
