Table-leaders Rajasthan Royals will take on Mumbai Indians in the 38th minute of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur on Monday. RR have ticked the right boxes in the ongoing season as they have won six matches out of the seven they have played.
Thus, they almost have their one foot in the playoff door. MI has managed three wins in seven games and has plenty of work to do. We take a look at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
Rajasthan Royals: W W L W W
Rajasthan Royals have come up with a collective effort in the ongoing season. RR have a balanced squad and all the players have played their part for the team. The inaugural champions will want more runs from Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat, though.
