Excited to see Corbin finally debut for MI! His all-round skills could be exactly what we need in the middle overs. That SA20 performance was 🔥 Hope he adapts quickly to Indian conditions!

Not sure about this selection tbh. MI already has good all-rounders - would have preferred giving a chance to Raj Bawa instead. But let's see what Corbin brings to the table today.

Remember watching Corbin in that U19 WC final! Man, that spell was magical. If he can bring even half of that energy today, LSG batters are in trouble. #MIvsLSG

MI's turnaround has been incredible! Bumrah's return + now Bosch's debut... team looking dangerous at the right time. Hoping for another win today 🤞

Interesting to see how Corbin handles the pressure at Wankhede. His domestic stats are solid but IPL is a different beast. That batting ability could be handy down the order though.
