The Mumbai Indians have relied upon their middle order to finish games off for them and the openers and the top order batsmen haven't seen the team through. Thankfully, MI have a couple of hard-hitting all-rounders and the pick of the lot is Hardik Pandya, our Fantasy X-Factor for the match.

Hardik has hit sixes at will this season and his cameos in every match have saved the Mumbai Indians on a lot of occasions. On a belter of a pitch set up for the game, more of the same can be expected from Pandya, who could tonk the RCB bowlers who haven't been at their best this season.

He will also be a good bowling option for skipper Rohit Sharma due to his wicket-taking penchant. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Krunal Pandya will be good options for this match.
