IPL 2024: Predicting Mumbai Indians’ Playing XI for their clash against Rajasthan Royals

Mumbai Indians are set to lock horns against the RR in the 38th game of IPL 2024, which is slated to take place on April 22 at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium. Notably, the Hardik Pandya-led side is in the sixth spot with just three wins and four losses in the event so far.

However, the five-time IPL champions are set to win their next clash to turn things around. Likewise, here is the likely playing XI of the Mumbai Indians team

Openers: Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan

Former MI skipper Rohit Sharma is set to open the innings along with Ishan Kishan in the next game against RR. Notably, Rohit Sharma was in magnificent form in the last clash against PBKS. However, he is once again expected to smash a plethora of runs alongside Ishan Kishan in the next clash. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan seems to be in awful form but still has a few games to make a good comeback.

Batters: Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Tim David

Notably, Suryakumar Yadav is the main batter from the MI camp and is expected to do most of the damage against RR bowlers. The stylish right-handed batter can boost top-, middle-, and lower-order singles owing to his batting power. However, Tilak Varma also seems to be in great form and single-handedly taking down the opposition. In addition, Tim David is also in sublime form and can smash runs against RR bowlers.

All-rounders: Hardik Pandya and Romario Shepherd

Hardik Pandya and Romario Shepherd are the power hitters of the MI camp who can boost the lower order of the camp as well as scalp wickets in the middle orders. Notably, Hardik Pandya needs to step up for his side to help his side keep playing well.

Bowlers: Mohammad Nabi, Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, and Akash Madhwal

Jasprit Bumrah is leading the pace attack of the Mumbai Indians camp in the IPL 2024, and he will be the prime fast bowler to look for wickets against the RR. However, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, and Akash Madhwal also hold equal responsibility for dismantling the Rajasthan Royals batting line-up in the IPL 2024.
