A main issue for them this season has been Rohit Sharma’s lack of form and Ishan Kishan’s struggle.

Key Players

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma showed signs of getting his timing back in the previous fixture but is still not able to get into his habit of scoring big. With the tournament done and dusted for Mumbai Indians, he may be able to bat with more freedom, helping him gather momentum and get back into form.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin is turning out to be a multi-utility player for the Royals. He is moving around nicely in the batting line-up, often coming up to stabilize the innings and has also been pretty clever with the ball. He is enjoying a wonderful tournament and could be a key player against the Mumbai Indians, a side he has had success against in the past.

RR vs MI Match Tips
