RR vs MI Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is considered more bowling-friendly, where batters struggle to post big totals. Only one T20 international game has taken place at the stadium between India and New Zealand, where India piled up 166/5 to crush New Zealand. Spinners often enjoy a lot of support. 

Form and Fitness

RR's Jos Buttler only played as an impact player in the last match but showed marvellous form by hitting a century. He might be unavailable in RR vs MI clash as he faced some niggles in the previous game. Ravichandran Ashwin is also injured. There are no cases of injuries inside the MI camp.

Tactical Acumen

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals has a strong batting and bowling unit in IPL 2024. Whether it's chase or defence, RR has always found an edge to crush the opponents. Their batting is led by in-form batters Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag. 

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have a very powerful batting unit with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tim David, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma. However, they lack the depth in bowling. Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee have done a good job. MI also lacks a mighty spinner.
