Mumbai Indians on Thursday.The duo also put on a 50-run stand in the match before Deepak Chahar dismissed Priyansh Arya for 22 runs.Prabhasmaran Singh, who scored 549 runs in 2025 and 439* in 2026, also became only the third uncapped Indian player to score 400 or more runs in multiple IPL seasons. The other two are Surya Kumar Yadav (2018, 2019 and 2020) and Abhishek Sharma (2022 and 2024).Earlier, Mumbai Indians captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and elected to field first in their IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Thursday.Bumrah is leading Mumbai Indians in IPL for the first time. Regular skipper Hardik Pandya is recovering from a back injury, while stand-in skipper Surya Kumar Yadav is unavailable due to personal reasons.Punjab Kings came into the match after four consecutive defeats in the crucial phase of the season. After seven matches, they were top of the table, but the race for a top-two finish has since slowed.Mumbai Indians have also had a poor season overall, with three wins from 11 matches and ninth in the points table.On the toss, Bumrah said: “We have decided to bowl first. We saw the last match and felt that maybe the cold weather will help the wicket. I didn’t think before I became MI captain that I would be a Test captain (smiles). As much as possible, we can play three matches, and we want to enjoy and maybe some teams are not personal because of the turmoil, and by Allah it is not good.”PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said: “We would have bowled first. The wicket looks a bit dry. We don’t know how the pitch will play yet, so just be positive about it. We have to stop thinking about what went wrong. We have to think about being in good shape and thinking positively. Harpreet Brar, Xavier Bartley and Azmatullah Bartley are among them.”
