What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
It has been a contrasting start for the two sides so far.
Mumbai Indians have played and lost two games and have come under a lot of pressure from their fans as they languish down the ladder on the points table.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have won both their matches so far and are third on the table behind KKR and CSK.
Quick MI vs RR Preview
Mumbai Indians need a turnaround and that’s not just related to their slow start but also to get Hardik Pandya the confidence that he can lead them to the best of his abilities. They don’t want to be left with a captain having any self-doubts halfway through the tournament and with no-one to go to.
What they need is some better bowling showing after back to back games in which they have conceded a fair bit and fallen short in the chase.
In their previous game specially, the captaincy was off with Hardik refusing to bring Jasprit Bumrah back despite the onslaught.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals look like they are finally coming together as a team and a lot of that could be attributed to the various players who can all put their hand up and deliver.
In their first game against LSG, it was Sanju Samson who smashed a 52-ball 82 before a concerted bowling showing helped them trump their opposition.
Against the Delhi Capitals, Riyan Parag was their batting saviour, taking them from 90/4 in 13.3 overs to a whopping 185/5. Yuzvendra Chahal then chipped in with a 2/19 from his three to help them edge the contest.
