Before the start of IPL, nobody has expected this. That Mumbai Indians will lose their first 8 matches. They are out of playoffs contention now. Mathematically, there might be a slight chance but it is almost impossible. Mumbai Indians will now have to play for pride. By winning all the matches, they can indeed pass a statement. Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful franchises in IPL history.
Today they are going to have a clash against Rajasthan Royals who are currently placed second in the points table. In their previous encounter this season, Jos Buttler has scored a brilliant century. MI is hoping that they can get Jos cheaply today. RR’s batting revolves around Jos. There is no long tail for RR as well as MI. Rajasthan Royals will today commemorate the RR legend, Shane Warne.
However, RR’s bowling is far better when compared to MI also none of the MI batters are taking it deep. They need to come out of this.
Probable XIs
RR: Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikall, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Daryl Mitchell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen, Prasidh Krishna
MI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Hrithik Shokeen, Daniel Sams, Jaydev Unadkat, Riley Meredith, Jasprit Bumrah
