Info:
- Mumbai Indians have an excellent bowling unit but their batting has been their achilles heel so far in this campaign. Rohit Sharma has made 201 runs across the five games with only Suryakumar Yadav (154) also contributing 100+ runs. With the ball, Rahul Chahar has taken 9 wickets, Trent Boult has been threatening throughout and Jasprit Bumrah has an impressive economy rate of 6.36.
- Sanju Samson has led the way for Rajasthan Royals not only as captain but also with the bat. He has contributed 187 runs in the tournament so far although 161 of them have come in two innings. David Miller is the only other Royal to have passed 50 in the 2021 IPL. Chris Morris (9) and Chetan Sakariyar (7) have taken the most wickets with Jaydev Unadkat and Mustafizur Rahman both chipping in with 4 each.
- Rohit Sharma’s side have been particularly fortunate with injuries and player welfare. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have now lost Jofra Archer (injury), Ben Stokes (injury), Liam Livingstone (bubble fatigue) and Andrew Tye (covid concerns) during the season.
Live Streaming:
Live Streaming: Fans in India can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
TV Channels:
The match can be watched live on Star Sports in India, Sky Cricket in the UK and Willow TV in the USA.
Toss Predictions:
Whenever Rohit Sharma has won the toss he has opted to bat first. Sanju Samson has chosen to field first on the occasions he has won the toss.
Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
It will be mostly sunny with the temperature as high as 41 degrees during the match.
🏟️ Pitch:
We are expecting the Arun Jaitley Stadium to produce a surface more like what we have seen so far in the tournament in Chennai rather than Mumbai. Batsmen will have to work for their runs.
Team NEWS:
RR Team News:
Although they have had to contend with player withdrawals, Ben Stokes was the only one of the four who actually took to the field in a game in the 2021 IPL. After their gritty win against KKR, we expect them to keep the same XI for this game.
MI Team News:
Mumbai can consider themselves to have been particularly lucky to have kept their squad available as others have seen players depart for home for injury or other reasons. They have a very strong team and have higher standards than we have seen so far.

RR Key Players:
Sanju Samson: You get the impression that there were carefully constructed plans to ease Samson into the captaincy surrounded by Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. That hasn’t happened but he has still managed to contribute far and away the most runs for his side.
David Miller:
With the English contingent reduced to Buttler, David Miller and Chris Morris have been busy stamping their South African authority on the Royals. Miller has shown the ability to hit a half-century which instantly makes him a crucial cog in the side.
Chris Morris:
His final five balls in the KKR innings cost zero runs and delivered two wickets which gave him figures of 4-23. Rajasthan need more of the same with the ball from this South African.

MI Key Players:
Rohit Sharma:
The captain and opening batsman has made by far the most runs for Mumbai this season in IPL 2021 but has only passed 50 once. He needs to go bigger and his other star batsmen to go with him.
Quinton de Kock:
Fast tracked to the starting XI post-quarantine, de Kock has been somewhat of a failure so far. The frustration is that he has so much ability but with Chris Lynn waiting in the wings he must deliver.

Jasprit Bumrah:
He is delivering his best ever IPL economy rate at the moment but his wickets are way down on recent campaigns. Perhaps the opposing batsmen are minimising their risks against him.
Team Forms:
RR Team Form:
Getting the 10 wicket defeat out of their system with a win against KKR within 48 hours was crucial. Rajasthan’s squad is depleted but they are showing admirable resilience.
MI Team Form:
Two wins and two defeats looked like a slow but solid start to the campaign but three defeats puts a different complexion on it. The champions are in a rut and need to find their way out of it as soon as possible.
SQUAD:
Mumbai Indians:
Rajasthan Royals:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Dhawal Kulkarni, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, Jayant Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar, Suryakumar Yadav, Chris Lynn, Mohsin Khan, Saurabh Tiwary, Trent Boult, Adam Milne, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Piyush Chawla, James Neesham, Yudhvir Charak, Marco Jansen, Arjun Tendulkar.
