Match: Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians
Date: May 1st, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

Key Battles for Key Players

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Jasprit Bumrah
Jaiswal's aggressive openers, but Bumrah's yorkers and powerplay swing can blunt him early.

Riyan Parag vs Mitchell Santner
Parag's emergence as a dependable middle-order bat will face Santner's restrictive spin during the middle overs.

Shimron Hetmyer vs Trent Boult
Hetmyer's finishing potential may be at an end facing Boult's speed and cunning variations at the death.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Wanindu Hasaranga
SKY's unorthodox strokeplay can negate spin, but Hasaranga's trickery and swift arm action will test his fluidity.

Hardik Pandya vs. Jofra Archer
A clash of two attacking players, Pandya's late batting vs. Archer's pace and bounce, can illuminate the final overs.
