MI vs RCB Match Prediction: Match no. 20 of the IPL 2025 will see two of the titans of Indian cricket clash against each other: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as the Mumbai Indians (MI) will be hosting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). However, all the talk around this game is about Jasprit Bumrah, as the speedster is set to make his return to action for the first time since walking off the field during the Sydney Test in January.
Both teams are coming off a loss, but RCB are placed slightly better in the points table than MI. Hardik Pandya’s team has lost three of their four matches; they will take confidence from the fact that their only win this season so far came at the Wankhede, where they will play RCB today.
RCB, under new skipper Rajat Patidar, started the tournament with two outstanding away wins—against KKR in Eden Gardens and CSK in Chepauk—but lost their first home game to Gujarat Titans.

Bumrah will make his comeback to action after three months of injury layoff due to a back injury that he sustained during the BGT 2024/25 in Australia.
Further, Rohit Sharma missed MI’s last match due to a knee issue. He is likely to return today.
