Mumbai Indians are falling off the radar after a decent start to the season and their next encounter will be against the Rajasthan Royals tomorrow night. The defending champions have won two games and have lost three games in their five-match campaign so far. They are placed fourth in the table with four points on board. They haven’t been able to get past Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings in the last two games.

A lot of questions have been raised on Mumbai Indians to adapt to the slow-turning wickets. They will again be heading to a turning track in Delhi where it is going to be hard to hit through the line.

Rohit Sharma and Rahul Chahar have been the top performers for Mumbai Indians so far and here are 3 stars from Mumbai Indians who will be game-changers against Rajasthan Royals.

IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Mumbai Indians Who Will Be Game Changers:

When the going gets tougher, it will be none other than Rohit Sharma who will step up for the team. So far, it has been the story of the franchise, and Rohit has been the only limelight in the batting order. Despite his efforts, he hasn’t been able to score big and post a daunting total that adds pressure on the opponent team.

Rohit Sharma has scored 201 runs from the five games he played and he scored the bulk of the runs in the previous game against Punjab Kings with 63 off just 52 balls in a total of 131. Rohit’s form will be a plus for the Mumbai Indians and it would be a lot more helpful if the other players chip in with contributions too. He has the ability to win a game single-handedly, and he will be a game-changer for Mumbai Indians.

Suryakumar Yadav:

Suryakumar Yadav has got plenty of starts but hasn’t been able to carry on and play big innings that we are used to seeing him in the past. He scored 33 in 27 balls in the previous game with one six and three fours and Mumbai would have wanted him to continue for a little more time as it was difficult for the newcomer to hit boundaries.

He has scored 154 runs in five games, but it hasn’t impacted the team’s performances and Mumbai will be looking to him for more impactful performances at the top order that can take the game away from the opponents. He has all the shots in the book and it is tough for the bowlers to bowl to a player like Suryakumar Yadav. If he can stay in the crease for a longer time, he can be a match-winner for the Mumbai Indians.

Rahul Chahar:

The leg spinner Rahul Chahar has been the most impressive bowler for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing season and he has won two games on his own already for the side. He is third on the list of top wicket-takers for the season with 9 wickets in five games and has been among the wickets column regularly.

Chahar has been bowling brilliantly in the Chennai wicket which has assisted the spinners and despite the dew factor, he has been able to pitch it on the right areas which are good signs for the youngster.

He will have a similar kind of pitch in the upcoming games at Delhi too and will cherish bowling his leg spinners. He has already shown that he can be a game-changer and will look to do that.
