It seems like the demons from the last year haven?t left Mumbai Indians, who suffered an 8-wicket thrashing at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their opening game of the<a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com"> Indian Premier League </a>(IPL) 2023. It was a horrendous outing for the five-time champions as they batted and bowled extremely poorly to mark their 11th successive loss in the first game of the IPL since 2013.?



Asked to bat first, it was a dreadful start for them as they lost wickets in quick succession and were tumbling at 48/4. Tilak Varma yet again came to the rescue as he played a gritty knock of unbeaten 84 runs and guided his to a total of 171 runs, which at one moment seemed impossible. With something to fight on, it was expected that MI would keep things tight. But this didn?t go their way as they were taken to the cleaners and suffered an 8-wicket loss.&nbsp;

Mumbai Indians is now slated to play against their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings in their next game of the IPL 2023. They would be hoping to continue their dominance over the MS Dhoni-led side and would want to stage a comeback after a poor loss in the first game. It wasn?t a great outing for them against RCB and it is likely that they can make a few changes to their lineup for the next game. Let?s take a look at Two Changes Mumbai Indians can make for their next game against Chennai Super Kings after a massive loss against RCB:



 1. Kumar Kartikeya in place of Hrithik Shokeen? 



Mystery spinner Spinner Kumar Kartikeya impressed many with his variations last year. He was a late addition to the Mumbai Indians squad but he looked settled in the few games he played. It was expected that he would start in the XI for the first game itself. But this didn?t happen as Hrithik Shokeen got a nod ahead of him. The off-spinner was taken to cleaners in the only over he bowled as he conceded 17 runs and also managed just 5 runs with the bat. In his place, Mumbai can bring Kumar Kartikeya in the second game against CSK as he can be a great supper to veteran Piyush Chawla. He so far has taken 5 wickets in 4 games he has played.?

2. Sandeep Warrier in place of Arshad Khan?



Arshad Khan was on his debut in the game against RCB. But things didn?t go the way as he would?ve liked. He was taken to runs in his first few overs and was under pressure. Although he took the wicket of Faf du Plessis, but his economy was concerning. He conceded 28 runs in just 2.2 overs. Therefore the team can look to replace him with experienced Sandeep Warrier, who was named Jasprit Bumrah?s replacement. Warrier was with KKR in the last few seasons and bowled decently well. Also, his pace could be handy for MI on the Wankhede pitch and can trouble batters.

Apart from these two changes, it?s unlikely that Mumbai Indians will make any changes to their team. Let?s take a look at Probable Mumbai Indians Playing 11 for their second match against Chennai Super Kings.?

The league stage of the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) ended within an enthralling note. After weeks of endless entertainment and exciting battles, the playoffs have reached and we have got our four final teams. Gujarat Titans (GT), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will cross swords with each other to have a go at the trophy.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MI vs LSG: 2 Changes that Mumbai Indians might make for the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Kumar-Kartikeya-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-101667" /></figure>



Coming to the Mumbai Indians, they will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants in the eliminator on Wednesday (24th May. They were right on the money in the league stage but a few concerns were there too. Therefore with the knockout game on cards, they would be looking to give their 100% and advance further. Let?s take a look at 2 Changes that Mumbai Indians might make for the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.&nbsp; Hrithik Shooken in place of Kumar Kartikeya&nbsp;</h2>



Hrithik Shokeen might be in contention to make it into the XI to Mumbai Indians for the game against Lucknow Super Giants. The change might be on the cards due to the tactics as the opposition has quite a few left-handers in the team and an off-spinner against them could be handy. Kartikeya has been impressive in the opportunities that he has got but might have to make way. Also, the pitch in Chepauk offers help for the spinners and it?s fair to say that being the off-spinner Shooken could be handy for the team.?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Riley Meredith in place of Chris Jordan&nbsp;</h2>

Chris Jordan has been the biggest concern for Mumbai Indians this season. The pacer was brought in as a replacement for Jofra Archer in the team but he didn?t live up to expectations as he leaked runs at the death and has one of the main reasons behind Mumbai Indians? poor death bowling. Riley Meredith on the other hand has been terrific in the limited opportunities that he has got. He has been bowling good lengths in the death as well and could be handy for the team.?
