Mumbai Indians form
Suryakumar Yadav's absence due to injury is greatly felt by the Mumbai Indians, and it is believed that he may not be ready to play in the upcoming game. Despite having strong batting power and quality bowlers like Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah, along with spin options from Piyush Chawla, the team is currently at the bottom of the table. However, they have shown promise in previous matches and should not be underestimated in this year's IPL. It is recommended that pundits do not dismiss the Mumbai Indians' chances in the tournament.
Mumbai Indians Predicted Lineup
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, Shams Mulani
Rajasthan Royals form
In their victory over Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals showcased the strength of their batting lineup despite their top three batsmen -- Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, and Sanju Samson -- failing to make a significant impact. Riyan Parag stepped up with an impressive unbeaten score of 84 runs from just 45 balls at number four, helping the team reach a total of 185/5. Nandre Burger stood out with the ball, taking crucial wickets including Mitchell March and RK Bhui. Yuzvendra Chahal also contributed with a couple of dismissals. With quality players throughout their lineup, Rajasthan Royals will prove to be a formidable opponent in upcoming matches.
Rajasthan Royals Predicted Lineup
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dhruv Jurel, Nandre Burger, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
