MI vs RR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 42 | MI vs RR Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report
Mumbai Indians (MI) will be up against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the second game on Sunday (April 30). Both teams have had contrasting results in their last match.
Mumbai Indians lost their previous encounter against Gujarat Titans (GT) by 55 runs. GT were clinical against the five-time champions throughout the rubber. MI would want a better show from their pacers and a good start from their openers, otherwise it could be another long night for Rohit Sharma’s team.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals will be high on confidence after their comprehensive win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the last game. They put on a complete show against the four-time champions in Jaipur. However, they would still be concerned about the form of Jason Holder, who hasn’t been up to the mark so far.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
Mumbai Indians:
- Rohit Sharma has not lived up to the expectations so far. However, he is a class player and can score big on his home ground. Watch out for the birthday boy.
- Rohit has a poor career record against RR: 21 inns, 405 runs, avg. 19.29, SR 127.76.
- Ishan Kishan has 242 runs at an average of 34.57 and a strike rate of 135.19 against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. The southpaw has also made three half-centuries against them. However, Ishan needs to be careful against Trent Boult early on.
- Suryakumar Yadav has 359 runs at a 44.87 average and a 143.02 strike rate against Rajasthan Royals since IPL 2018. He can again unleash his beast mode on a track that assists the batters.
- Tilak Varma has been inconsistent this season due to the regular shuffles in his batting position. However, his quality is well known. In the two innings last season, Tilak made 96 runs at a strike rate of 152.38 against Rajasthan Royals.
- Cameron Green has been one of the best MI players this season. He has 199 runs at a 49.75 average and a 149.62 strike rate in seven innings so far. Green has also snared five wickets with the ball.
- Piyush Chawla is the leading wicket-taker (11) for Mumbai Indians this season. He has a strike rate of 14.72 and an economy rate of 7.11 in IPL 2023.
Rajasthan Royals:
- Jos Buttler enjoys batting against Mumbai Indians. In the sevem innings, Buttler has 467 runs at an average of 77.83 and a strike rate of 155.66. He has amassed four fifties and a century against the five-time IPL champions.

- Yuzvendra Chahal has 25 wickets at a strike rate of 15.84 and an economy rate of 7.95 against Mumbai Indians in the league. He can trouble the MI batters again.
- Trent Boult would like bowling with the new ball at Wankhede. There might be some movement on offer in the powerplay, and he can exploit it. He has dismissed Rohit four times in 48 balls in all T20s, conceding 67 runs in the process.
