Fantasy Showdown
Fantasy Showdown: Mumbai, led by Hardik Pandya, will play Hyderabad, led by Pat Cummins. See which five players are the best to include in your fantasy team for today’s IPL MI vs. SRH match.
The Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play each other at the Wankhede Stadium on April 17. At 7:30 PM, the action is scheduled to start. Let’s examine the top five players from today’s MI vs. SRH game.
Top 5 players to pick in your fantasy team today – (Fantasy Showdown)
Travis Head :
Travis Head is an important player for SRH vs MI because of his explosive IPL play this season. He is playing at his best, as evidenced by his 67(31) against RR, 47(28) against LSG, and scorching 66(37) vs PBKS.
His aggressive starts set the tone for Hyderabad’s innings, despite a few poor scores in between. His powerplay hitting can quickly destroy MI’s bowling attack on a batting-friendly Wankhede pitch, especially when the new ball is striking the bat wonderfully. In the event that he gets going tonight, expect fireworks.

Tilak Varma :
This season, Tilak Varma has been the backbone of the Mumbai Indians’ middle order. He has demonstrated the ability to accelerate and anchor innings under duress with pivotal knocks like 59(33) against DC and 56(29) against RCB.
He contributed with 39(36) against GT and 31(25) against CSK, even in tighter games. With the exception of an odd duck against KKR, Tilak has been steady and cool, managing pace and spin just as effectively.
His left-handed strokeplay might be a huge advantage on a field with a strong scoring capacity like Wankhede. Against SRH tonight, he’s unquestionably a wise fantasy selection.
Abhishek Sharma :
The IPL 2025’s highest individual score was smashed by Abhishek Sharma. Against the Punjab Kings, it was an incredible 141 off just 55 balls, hitting at 256.36. His position as one of the season’s most dangerous powerplay hitters is cemented by this knock alone.(Fantasy Showdown)
He is capable of destroying any bowling attack with that kind of form and unwavering intent, particularly up top. You can anticipate pyrotechnics if he starts fighting MI at Wankhede tonight. He is no longer merely a wild-card selection. He is the X-factor for SRH.
Pat Cummins :
Throughout the IPL 2025, Pat Cummins has been SRH’s reliable all-around contributor. He frequently ends innings with impact cameos and has amassed 56 runs at a fast strike rate of 155.56 with the bat.
His best bowling numbers are 2/29, and he frequently bowls challenging overs, despite having only taken 4 wickets in 6 games. At 10.94, his economy is on the higher end of the spectrum. He has made four catches in the field. Cummins provides points in every area and is still a wise all-around fantasy option even though he isn’t a fantasy superstar.
Jasprit Bumrah :
In the IPL 2025, Jasprit Bumrah has only played in two games for MI and hasn’t yet produced the kind of impact that supporters have come to expect. Bumrah has given up 73 runs at an economy of 9.13 and a bowling average of 73.00 with just one wicket in 8 overs. He hasn’t yet established his rhythm, based on his greatest figures of 1/44.(Fantasy Showdown)
