Here are the three key player battles to watch out for during the RR vs MI match:
1) Rohit Sharma vs Trent Boult
Rohit Sharma vs Trent Boult is one of the biggest battle in the RR vs MI clash. Rohit is in great form and is among the highest run-scorers for the Mumbai Indians this season. But he got out on a duck when he last faced Trent Boult earlier this season. The pacer has dismissed the batter 2 times in the IPL. Rohit has faced 18 balls from Boult and scored 17 runs off it.
2) Jos Buttler vs Jasprit Bumrah
Jos Buttler is in insane form and has struck two hundreds in the last four games that he played including an unbelievable win against KKR that he pulled off at the Eden Gardens. If MI needs to win this match, then Buttler’s wicket will be a very crucial. Therefore, Jasprit Bumrah will be called up to get rid of Jos, as he has already dismissed the batter twice.
3) Ishan Kishan vs Ravi Ashwin
Ishan Kishan is having a good season and has been able to give quick starts to the Mumbai Indians. It will be very difficult to stop him once he gets going. But Rajasthan Royals has Ravi Ashwin, who is known for his controlled spin bowling. Ashwin has bowled 63 balls to Ishan by giving away 57 runs, and dismissed the batter once in the IPL.
