MI vs RR Important Player Stats (Top Five)

MI vs RR Toss Factor

The Wankhede Stadium has always favoured the team that has chased a target here. In the previous edition of the IPL, the team that chased won five of the seven games. The two teams playing in the match, have a pretty string and deep batting line-up and the skipper will prefer fielding first on winning the toss.

Scenario: If Mumbai Inidians win the toss

• If Mumbai Indians win the toss, they will look to field first. Given the playing conditions it is expected that they will be chasing a formidable total and in that case a lot will depend on how they start. Players like Rohit Sharm, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma will be crucial picks in this case. 
• Regarding the bowling of MI, Japsrit Bumrah has been the man in-form and will be a must pick for the game. However, Gerald Coetzee can also be a good choice given his pace and the bounce he could extract from the wicket.

Scenario: If Rajasthan Royals win the toss

• Rajasthan Royals have the confidence of two wins under their belt and will be backig themselves to chase down any target in this game. The top order batters will be crucial for the team, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson, who have a pretty good record at the Wankhede Stadium. 
• Yuzvendra Chahal has been decent with the ball in the tournament and will be crucial to RR's chances. Along with Chahal, Boult could also be important because of his ability to swing the new ball.

Rohit Sharma will be an important C/Vc choice for the fantasy contests of the match [iplt20.com]

Rohit Sharma (MI)

Though the former MI-skipper has not yet scored big in IPL 2024, he has looked good with the bat. Rohit Sharma will be looking to make the full use of the batting friendly conditions at the Wankhede Stadium and looks like a great point multiplier for this game. 

Sanju Samson will be a safe C/VC choice for the fantasy contests of the match [iplt20.com]

Sanju Samson (RR)

The RR-skipper is the man in form in their batting line-up. Sanju Samson also has an excellent record at the Wankhede Stadium in IPL and will be eager to cash in. So, even if MI win, it is expected to be a close game, and Samson could be impactful.

Scenario: If Rajasthan Royals win the match

Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR)

The young Indian batter has not had the best of starts in the IPL 2024. However, the last time he turned up at the Wankhede Stadium, Yashasvi scored a brilliant hundred. He has an average of over 50 at this venue in IPL while scoring runs at a strike of 173. If the Royals are to win this game, Jaiswal will be a crucial choice in the fantasy contests. 

Tilak Varma (MI)

The Indian left-handed batter looked in great touch in the previous game. He enjoys the ball coming onto the bat; that is precisely what he will get at this pitch. His current form makes Tilak Varma a crucial C/VC choice, even if you are backing RR to win the game. 

MI vs RR High Risk, High Reward

Ishan Kishan (MI)

The Indian keeper-batter has looked rusty with the bat in the first two games. However, Ishan Kishan's naturally aggressive batting style might help him get off the blocks on this wicket. His current form makes Kishan a risky choice for this game.

Jos Buttler (RR)

Jos Buttler's bat has remained quite so far in IPL 2024. But the Wankhede pitch might suit his batting style and help him regain his form. Although he could be an impactful choice, his current lack of batting rhythm makes Buttler a risky choice for the game.

MI vs RR Stay Aways

Tim David (MI)

The big-hitting Aussie international is an impactful finisher. However, it is expected that at Wankhede, most of the job will be done by the top-order, and David might not be left with too much to impact the game significantly.

Romario Shepherd (MI)

MI has so far failed to utilise this West Indian all-rounder. Even if Romario Shepherd gets a go in this game, it will be miraculous if he comes up with an impactful show for the fantasy contests.
