RR vs MI, the 44th game of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 30 April 2022.
Team Updates:
Rajasthan Royals are one of the strongest teams in the tournament, with both a great batting and bowling line-up. Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal are the current holders of the Orange and Purple cap in IPL 2022. With 6 wins in 8 games, RR sits at 2nd position in the points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have looked utterly pale in the ongoing tournament. MI is already thrown out of the race for playing offs with a dismal performance in 8 games. They have lost all of their matches and occupy the last position in the points table.
At this moment, Mumbai Indians will gain nothing from playing the same combination of cricketers in their remaining games. Now is their chance to try out every prospect in their squad to prepare for the following year’s edition of IPL. Ishan Kishan should be omitted from the playing XI to look back on his mistakes, while veterans like Kieron Pollard and Jasprit Bumrah can also benefit from a hiatus.
In contrast, Rajasthan Royals will probably stick to the same playing XI to continue their momentum. RR will inch closer to making it to the playoffs with a victory over Mumbai Indians. Sanju Samson’s troops are riding high on confidence, and we can expect another cracking performance from the RR unit in Tata IPL 2022.
