Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Preview

The defending champions started their IPL 2021 campaign with a loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, they made a solid comeback in the next two games and secured thrilling wins, both of which were low-scoring encounters. But since then, nothing has gone Mumbai's way as they went on to lose two consecutive games against Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.

The Mumbai outfit is currently placed fourth on the IPL 2021 points table with two wins and three losses. One of the major reasons behind their dismal performances is the lack of contribution from their middle-order which has failed to click this year. Rohit Sharma will hope that his players step up to the occasion and help Mumbai get their IPL 2021 campaign back on track by beating Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Royals, just like Mumbai, have also been inconsistent in the competition so far. With two wins and three defeats, the Men in Pink are languishing at the penultimate spot in the IPL 2021 points table. Rajasthan's batting has been a big let down, which is why they find themselves in the bottom half of the table.

Sanju Samson needs to lead from the front and senior players like Jos Buttler and David Miller also need to take responsibility if Rajasthan Royals are to beat this formidable Mumbai side. The 2008 IPL winners will look to get back to winning ways as a loss here will further jeopardize their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
