Rajasthan Royals are in a better position in the ongoing 19th season of the tournament, having won their two previous matches against the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans. The batters and bowlers have been spot on so far, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal leading the batting charts. Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi have bowled well for the 2008 champions.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians started the new season with a win over the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, but the five-time title holders lost to the Delhi Capitals in their next contest. MI captain Hardik Pandya, who missed the second game, has recovered from illness and will lead the team against Riyan Parag’s team.
