MI vs RR Key Players

Rohit Sharma

A flat track and struggling bowling attack ahead leaves Rohit Sharma with a great chance of making an impact and reminding his worth as a batter in the IPL. He has the shots, his international form has been decent, and he will be waiting to play a good innings in a tournament which has not seen his impact in a while.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has been a little slower in the last few games. With Jaiswal going really good at the other end he has been more than happy to play second fiddle. Buttler though, with a couple of silent games will be eager to push the pace in the upcoming encounter.
