MI vs RR: Everything You need to know

The matchup between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) isn’t thought to be among the most important ones in the IPL. However, the truth is that these two teams have already engaged in a number of thrilling games. These two T20 batting suits are also very capable. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Tim David, Hardik Pandya, and Jos Buttler will want to put on a show tonight, and there is plenty of powerful talent on exhibit. This is one reason why selecting a Dream11 lineup for today’s game can be challenging.

Both Jos Buttler and Ishan Kishan are playing well. Trent Boult has performed superbly using the new ball. Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal are unstoppable. Hardik Pandya is anticipated to improve quickly. While Sandeep Sharma and Nandre Burger of Rajasthan are still healing from their individual injuries, MI does not have any reservations about their fitness. Burger, however, might be able to play as an impact substitute based on the outcome of the toss.
