Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns with SunRisers Hyderabad (KKR) in the 55th match of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, May 6.

Mumbai Indians are having a disastrous IPL 2024 campaign, having won just three out of their 11 games. They are coming off a 24-run loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede in the previous game, marking their first loss after 12 years against KKR at the venue. MI are lying at the bottom of the points table with eight losses in their account.

On the other hand, SunRisers Hyderabad defeated the table toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) by one run in their last game at Hyderabad. SunRisers are currently fourth in the points table with six wins, four losses, and a positive net run rate of +0.072.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the MI vs SRH Dream11 match.

Hardik has scored 97 runs and secured four wickets in the last five games at the same venue. Thus, he will be a must-have option for the captain/vice-captain in your MI vs SRH Dream11 teams.
