The Mumbai Indians will be taking on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 25th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The match will be played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on April 10th at 7:30 PM IST. 

As we prepare for this exciting match, it's essential to dig into the player stats. These stats serve as a crucial foundation for your fantasy cricket team selection, guiding you towards the top captain and vice-captain choices and helping you identify the players you might want to avoid as a C or VC. 


MI vs RCB Toss Factor

The wicket at the Wankhede Stadium will favour the batters. It has always been a venue that has favoured the team chasing. Both MI and RCB have a very strong line-up, and given the venue's history, a high-scoring encounter is on the cards. 

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss

  • Mumbai Indians have a powerful line-up and have historically been a good chasing side. Hardik Pandya will trust his powerful line-up to fire and chase down any score set by RCB. If MI is chasing in this match, Surya becomes the most important choice. Alongside Surya, you can also look to back Rohit and Ishan Kishan. 
  • If MI are bowling first, then both Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah will be key choices from the MI team. However, if RCB are chasing, then Bumrah should be your most important choice from the bowlers of MI. 

Scenario: If Royal Challengers Bengaluru win the toss

  • While Wankhede is a good chasing ground, and Mumbai Indians might look to field first on winning the toss, RCB might take a different approach. RCB's bowling has struggled in the tournament, and hence, they might look to bat first. Irrespective of the toss, the man in form for RCB, Virat Kohli, will be a must-pick from the RCB batting. 
  • Barring Kohli, we can also back Faf du Plessis, who, though has not scored big runs, has looked in good touch with the bat. The riskiest pick from RCB batting would be Glenn Maxwell, who is currently having a terrible time in the tournament but can find his rhythm on any given day. 
  • Most of the RCB bowling has been out of rhythm in the tournament. However, given the nature of the wicket, Mohammed Siraj and Reece Topley could be good choices from the RCB bowling. 


MI vs RCB Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the match

Rohit Sharma (MI)

The Indian skipper has looked good with the bat in the tournament. Even though there has been no ‘Rohitisque’ knock in the tournament, he has got starts in most of the games. Given the rhythm he is showing in IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma could be a crucial C or VC choice for the match. 

Jasprit Bumrah (MI)

The Indian speedster had a great start to the tournament. However, after the first game, Bumrah has been economical but has not picked up enough wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is in decent form, and he could play a decisive role in this game.

Virat Kohli (RCB)

The Indian superstar has shown the brightest amongst the RCB batters. Virat Kohli is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament, and he would be the safest C or VC choice if you are backing RCB to win the game. 

Mohammed Siraj (RCB)

This Indian pacer is going through a lean phase in IPL 2024. However, a good show from Mohammed Siraj is due and given how the wicket behaves to the new ball, this might well be his day. Siraj would be a risky choice but can give you high returns if you keep him as the C or VC for this game. 


MI vs RCB High Risk, High Reward

Glenn Maxwell (RCB)

The Aussie all-rounder is struggling with the bat in IPL 2024. However, Maxwell has made decent contributions with the ball in the last couple of matches. His bowling form combined with his batting potential make Maxy a highly risky yet beneficial choice for the game.

Hardik Pandya (MI)

The newly appointed skipper of the Mumbai Indians is going through a difficult time in IPL 2024. Hardik is not able to play the impactful knocks with the bat and is not efficient with the ball. But he is a class all-rounder, and form can come back to him any day, making him a highly rewarding choice as the C or VC. 


MI vs RCB Stay Aways

Piyush Chawla (MI)

The Indian leg-spinner is a good utility bowler in the middle overs. Piyush Chawla picks up a wicket in most matches. But he might not be a good choice as the C or VC because, given his current form, it will be a surprise if he gives a performance that impacts the fantasy contests hugely. 

Dinesh Karthik (RCB)

The veteran Indian wicketkeeper has done a decent job for RCB in the lower middle order. However, in most cases, Dinesh Karthik comes out at a stage when there is not much left to impact the game in a greatly positive manner.
