The Mumbai Indians will take on the Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium as the IPL moves from Central India to the western coast of Mumbai. This marks the 69th fixture of the TATA IPL 2026, which is scheduled to be played on the 24th of May from 3:00 PM. The MI vs RR clash is a reverse fixture after MI's tragic thrashing in Guwahati earlier this season.
The last time the Mumbai Indians met the Rajasthan Royals, it was back in Guwahati. It was the thirteenth match of the season, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's stellar innings helped the Royals to a massive 150-run total, while Yashasvi Jaiswal also played a stupendous knock at the top of the order. Mumbai struggled to chase that mammoth score in a rain-affected 11-over game, and the Royals won the match, securing two points.
