Mumbai Indians (MI) host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 47th match of IPL 2026 on Monday, May 4, 2026, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, starting at 7:30 PM IST. For your Dream11 team, Jasprit Bumrah is the top captain pick.
He has dismissed Rishabh Pant seven times in IPL history and is at his most lethal under the Wankhede lights, where the ball swings early and reverses late.
Ryan Rickelton or Mohammed Shami work well as vice-captain options, balancing top-order run-scoring and new-ball wicket-taking on this batting-friendly surface.
