Difficult to play salt against MI
It is looking difficult for Phil Salt to play against Mumbai Indians. In such a situation, Jacob Bethel may get another chance to prove himself, at present, instead of Salt, Bethel is handling the responsibility of opening with Virat. Jacob Bethel has so far scored just 43 runs in 4 innings of 4 matches.
