MI vs RR Dream11
Preview
It is the 14th game of the Indian Premier League season and it is set to be a massive one for Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai side are under pressure to do well against a red-hot Rajasthan Royals side.
Mumbai Indians (MUM) are continuing their tradition of making bad starts to the season. Hardik Pandya’s side have already lost two games so far this season to put themselves in early trouble. In the last game against SRH the bowling attack totally crumbled under pressure.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sanju Samson have no such issues. The men in pink are yet to lose a game and have shown good composure with the bat and ball. The batting has been terrific and the bowling too has done its job at critical junctures.

Top players for MI vs RR Dream 11 Match
Top Players – Mumbai Indians
Tilak Varma – In the Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad game, Tilak Varma nearly pulled off a heist. Till he was there, MI fans had a hope to pull off an impossible win. Such is the impact of the youngster that he is a key player for his team.
Rohit Sharma – Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has got off to a decent start with the bat this season. His 26 runs against SRH came off just 11 balls to help his team make a good start. In the first home game of the season the 36-year-old will look to put on a big score on the board.
Top Players – Rajasthan Royals
Riyan Parag – Young Riyan Parag has continued his blazing batting form in IPL 2024. The 22-year-old has so far scored 127 runs with a best of 84 not out from the two games this season. The game against Mumbai Indians is set to bet yet another test for the rising superstar from Assam.
Sanju Samson – Rajasthan Royals skipper began the season with an amazing 82 against Lucknow Super Giants. The 29-year-old will want to continue his good start to the season with the bat against MI.
MI vs RR Must Picks for Dream 11 Cricket
Jasprit Bumrah – 30-year-old Jasprit Bumrah has been the best bowler from the Mumbai Indians camp. In an otherwise bad start to the season, Mumbai Indians have seen Bumrah bowl his heart out to keep his team in the game.
Sandeep Sharma – Medium pacer Sandeep Sharma has been the best death-over bowler during IPL 2024. The last five overs is when Mumbai Indians tend to struggle with the bat as seen in the first two games.

MI vs RR Risky Captaincy Choices
Hardik Pandya – The Mumbai Indians skipper hasn’t been able to perform to the fullest of his potential. It seems that the pressure of leading the side has been weighing heavy on his shoulders.
Yashasvi Jaiswal – India’s latest batting star hasn’t been able to continue his high run-scoring form. The left-handed batter has so far struggled with the bat in the first two games for Rajasthan Royals.
Players you should avoid
Piyush Chawla – 35-year-old spinner Piyush Chawla is looking lost in this new season of IPL 2024. The veteran spinner who was amazing last year has failed to make an impact so far for Mumbai Indians.
Ravichandran Ashwin – The veteran Indian bowler has just picked 1 wicket so far from two games this season. With the bat Ashwin scored 29 runs from 18 balls but it is with the ball that Ashwin has struggled.
