Duminy set to play his first game for Mumbai Indians in 8 years

“In all T20 he has bowled, JP bowls an average of 2.2 overs per game. This could also help Rohit Sharma from breaking the monotony. He has a class leg-spinner and a useful left-arm spinner in place so the South African will lend a good balance not only with the bat but also with the ball,” added Srikkanth.

Duminy last represented Mumbai Indians in IPL 2010 and will provide the much-needed stability in their middle order when he gets his opportunity against Royals on Sunday. His abilities to ball off-spin will also give a cushion to Krunal Pandya.
