Mumbai Indians haven’t won their opening match of the IPL since 2012 and the trend also continued in the ongoing season. The five-time champions will look to build momentum in the early phase of the tournament and it will be crucial for them to register their maiden win.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals registered a comprehensive win against Sunrisers Hyderabad as they had won by 61 runs. RR had come up with a collective batting effort as all of their batters had scored runs against the Orange Army. Furthermore, their bowling was up to the mark as Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna breathed down the neck of the opposition batters with swing and bounce respectively.

Head to Head: Matches: 27, Won by MI: 14, Won by RR: 12, Abandoned: 1.

Mumbai Indians hold a slight advantage in the head-to-head battle against Rajasthan Royals.

Players to look out for: Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Yuzvendra Chahal will be the crucial players for RR.

Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Tymal Mills, and Jasprit Bumrah will hold the key for Mumbai Indians.
