Player Contributions In MI Vs. PBKS Head To Head Fixtures

The Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Super Kings (PBKS) have seen some of the most brilliant individual performances over the years. 

Here’s a keener look at the game-changers who made a real difference for their team.

1. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah’s spell was a spectacle against Punjab Kings in 2024. Bumrah went on to take 3 wickets with the new ball and gave absolutely nothing away.

Bumrah swayed the game to the side of MI when he broke the dangerous partnership by retiring Shashank Singh to the stands.

With a solid 5.25 economy, Adam Gilchrist went on to say how Bumrah’s greatness was in stark contrast to the rest of the Mumbai bowlers.

2. KL Rahul

Punjab Kings shelled out a lot to acquire Rahul back in 2018. The fruition of this decision is evident, as KL has been one of the top scorers for PBKS since the last two seasons.

KL Rahul narrowly missed a ton at the Wankhede Stadium in 2018, but he made up for it the following year with a stunning performance against Mumbai Indians.

Rahul’s century (100/64) with a solid strike rate of 156.25 went on to be one of the historic moments for Punjab Kings, marking the only century scored by a team player in the 2019 Indian Premier League season.

3. Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard hit a crackling 83 off just 31 balls on his captaincy debut and has one of his best innings in 2019 against PBKS. 

Batting first, KXIP scored an imposing 197/4 in 20 overs, thanks to KL Rahul’s unbeaten 100 off 64 deliveries. 

However, the Mumbai Indians stalwart Kieron Pollard overshadowed Rahul’s feat as MI leaped to victory on the last ball of the match.

4. Mayank Agarwal

Mayank is one of the best when it comes to strike rotation and thrives against spin. He can play the shots out from his body with phenomenal hand-eye coordination.

Mayank Agarwal, the fearless captain of the Punjab Kings, ignited the match with an ice-breaker boundary on the first ball, setting the tone for a thrilling 12-run win against the Mumbai Indians. 

With a score of 52 off 32 balls, Agarwal led the charge, partnering with Shikhar Dhawan in a 97-run opening stand that left MI reeling. 

The PBKS bowling unit stood strong, while MI’s found its attack faltering, with only Bumrah shining bright in a disappointing outing for the hosts.

5. Shaun Marsh

The very first IPL between MI and PBKS back in 2008 was a last-ball thriller, with Kings XI Punjab sneaking away with a one-run victory. 

The protagonist of that win was none other than Australian batter Shaun Marsh! Man-of-the-match Marsh hit seven fours and four sixes and was one of the third-highest scorers in the 2008 tournament with 378 runs at an average of 75.60 with four half-centuries.

The 2008 Orange Cap holder, Marsh, was the star of the show for PBKS back then and did not disappoint against Mumbai Indians. 

Despite losing his hopeful opening partner, James Hopes, in the very first over of the match, Marsh stayed firm as he forged a 133-run partnership with Luke Pomersbach. 

In a match where none of the PBKS players, except Pomersbach, managed double-digit scores, Marsh held ground as he top-scored with 81 and helped his team clinch a thrilling contest.

Conclusion: MI Does Better Over PBKS With A Slight Margin

The head-to-head record between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings showcases how two teams of almost equal strength can keep the people on the edge of their seats. Out of a total of 32 games, Mumbai has won 17, and Punjab has won 15 neck-to-neck competitions every year.

While the Mumbai Indians lineup is always termed as the most balanced team with the strong bowling lineup, some say that it overdepends on key players like Jasprit Bumrah and lacks good spinners and back-up openers.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have always proved to be one of the toughest teams against MI. However, they could really benefit from a reliable opener batsman, especially the domestic Indian batters with a proven IPL track record.

As we reflect on these two stalwart rivalries, one thing is clear: the 2025 season is surely going to be a spectacular run, with rivalries igniting once again, putting up a show for all the MI and PBKS fans.
