MI vs RR, match 9 of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai from 3:30 PM IST 2nd April 2022.
Team Updates:
Mumbai Indians started their campaign with a heartbreaking loss against Delhi Capitals. The five-time champions have a habit of losing the first match in the tournament before bouncing back in style. Rohit’s troops will undoubtedly want to start the march to the trophy by winning against Rajasthan Royals. Suryakumar Yadav, who missed the first match due to an injury, is likely to feature in the playing XI against the RR.
Rajasthan Royals comfortably won the match against Sunrisers to start their campaign with a massive win. The top 5 of the RR are in extremely good form, while the bowlers are doing an excellent job. Rajasthan might bring in Daryl Mitchell or James Neesham in place of a supposedly injured Nathan Coulter Nile.
Probable XIs:
MI: Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams/Fabian Allen, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Basil Thampi
RR: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Nathan Coulter-Nile/James Neesham/Daryl Mitchell, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal
Cricreads Fantasy XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Tymal Mills, Basil Thampi
Predicted Star-Batter:
Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan Royals skipper, is our pick to score the highest number of runs in the MI vs RR clash. Samson notched up a quick fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad and will look to replicate the same success against Mumbai Indians to take his team to 2nd victory of the tournament.
Predicted Star-Bowler:
The kiwi left-arm swing bowler Trent Boult was released by Mumbai Indians before the IPL Mega Auction. He will want to get back on the Mumbai Indian with an emphatic performance in the MI vs RR clash at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
MI VS RR Predicted Winner:
Cricreads is betting on Rajasthan Royals to improve their head to head record against Mumbai Indians in IPL. Till now, Mumbai Indians have won 13 while Rajasthan Royals.
