Trent Boult will have big responsibilities on his shoulder in the absence of veteran Lasith Malinga as the Kiwi speedster is all set to take to the field for Mumbai Indians in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl-2020">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>, scheduled to commence from September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
