Preview 

Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya are set for yet another clash in the first game of the week on Monday. The Indian Premier League is already past the mid-way point of the season as the league table is finally starting to take shape. 

Rajasthan Royals (RR) enjoy a good view from the top of the table with 12 points from 7 games. The men in pink played out of their skin to beat the Kolkata Knight Riders in a pulsating match that saw Jos Buttler score a tremendous century. 

Mumbai Indians (MI) are sixth in the table with 6 points from the 7 games they have played so far. Hardik Pandya saw his bowlers get a huge reality check as Punjab Kings nearly pulled off an impossible win.

Pitch Report 

Jaipur has normally a good ground to bat second as there is a bit of dew during the second half of the match. Pace bowlers will get admirable swing in the air and pace off the pitch. A spinner who can vary their lengths will get good purchases to make shots difficult for the batters. A total in the range of 160-175 should be favourable to chase for the team batting second on this track.

Top players for RR vs MI Dream 11 Match 

Top Players – Rajasthan Royals    

Trent Boult – The left-pacer had the Mumbai Indians reeling during the earlier encounter this season. Trent Boult picked 3/22 including the prized scalp of Rohit Sharma to have the Mumbai Indians in huge trouble. If there is a swing in the air the Kiwi star will be a handful with the ball for the men in blue and gold. 

Yuzvendra Chahal – The 33-year-old leg-spinner has been doing everything in his power to earn an India recall. Yuzvendra Chahal just like Trent Boult had picked 3 wickets in the last game against Mumbai Indians to dent the five-time IPL winners. 

Top Players – Mumbai Indians 

Rohit Sharma – IPL 2024 has seen Rohit Sharma set the stage on fire with the bat. The 36-year-old is just three runs short of 300 runs and he will want to do well with the bat in the second half of the season. If Mumbai Indians have to make it to the next phase, Rohit Sharma will be a key component with the bat. 

Jasprit Bumrah – With 13 wickets from 7 games, Jasprit Bumrah has been the best bowler in the competition. The 30-year-old has been in cracking form with the ball and has been the go-to bowler for Hardik Pandya whenever the team needs a wicket. This season Jasprit Bumrah has also been getting wickets with the Yorker which is a welcome sight for many fans. 

RR vs MI Must Picks for Dream 11 Cricket

Riyan Parag – Young Riyan Parag has taken IPL 2024 by storm with his newfound maturity and consistency. The 22-year-old is one of the leading run-scorers this year with 318 runs from 7 games with an average of 63.6. The last time Parag played against Mumbai Indians he had scored a match-winning fifty to guide his team home in a tricky chase. 

Tilak Varma – The left-handed has become one of the most dependable batters for Mumbai Indians. Tilak Varma had scored 32 runs from 29 balls the last time these two sides met at the Wankhede Stadium. The left-handed batter has provided the much-needed ammunition in the back end of the innings with some important knocks. 

Suggested playing XI No.1 for RR vs MI Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

J.Buttler, S. Samson (VC), I.Kishan, R. Sharma (C), S.Yadav, T.Varma, R. Varma, H. Pandya, Y. Chahal, J.Bumrah, G.Coetzee

Suggested playing XI No.2 for RR vs MI Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

J Buttler, S. Samson, R. Sharma, S.Yadav, T. Varma, R. Parag (VC), Y. Chahal, T.Boult, J. Bumrah (C), G Coetzee, A Khan

RR vs MI Risky Captaincy Choices 

Dhruv Jurel – After becoming the toast of the nation thanks to his batting against England, the willow of Dhruv Jurel has been quiet. The youngster hasn’t gotten many chances to bat this season in the IPL and whatever little chances he has been afforded, Jurel hasn’t made much difference. 

Hardik Pandya – The Mumbai Indians skipper has been in the eye of the storm in recent weeks. Many fans and experts have questioned some of his decision and even some of his teammates seem unhappy with certain things. While there is no questioning the class that Hardik Pandya has, he needs to step up as a captain in the next few weeks. 

Players, you should avoid 

Ravichandran Ashwin – The veteran off-spinner has been having an IPL 2024 he will want to forget soon. The 37-year-old has picked just a single wicket from the 6 games he has played so far and too came in the first game of the IPL 2024 season against LSG. 

Romario Shepherd – The West Indian star made an immediate impact in the game against Delhi Capitals. Since then Romario Shepherd hasn’t made much difference with the bat and has been largely expensive with the ball.
