Today is double header. There is CSK vs SRH in the first match in the afternoon and RCB vs MI will take the field in the second match at 7.30 pm. RCB has won 2 matches this season and MI has lost all three matches. In such a situation, today Rohit Sharma and team (Rohit Sharma Captain Mumbai MI) would like to win at any cost.
Significantly, in this recent season, MI lost to DC in the first match by 4 wickets. After that, they were defeated by RR by 23 runs in the second match. Then, in the third match, KKR defeated by 5 wickets. It is also required for MI that Rohit Sharma should play the captaincy innings. In the three matches played so far, only 41, 10 and 3 runs have come off his bat. However, despite losing all three matches, some of the team’s players have performed well individually. Batting at the top order, Ishan Kishan scored 81, 54 and 14 runs. Whereas, young batsman Tilak Verma scored 22, 61, 38 runs. He has been doing well in the middle order. MI’s batting line-up has been strengthened with the arrival of Dewald Bravis Baby AB and the arrival of Suryakumar Yadav in the team after getting fit. Suryakumar Yadav scored 52 runs in 36 balls against KKR.
Kieron Pollard, who played an unbeaten 22 runs in 5 balls in the last match, is currently in rough form. MI will have to sharpen their bowling. Basil Thampi and Murugan Ashwin will need to sharpen their bowling. The bowling of Daniel Sams and Tymal Mills looks blunt. Remind you that Daniel Sams and Tymal Mills proved to be very expensive against KKR. Pat Cummins added 35 runs in the 16th over with his bat hitting 4 sixes and 2 fours in the bowling of Sams. In this match, he equaled the record of the fastest half century of IPL and also led his team to victory.
Jasprit Bumrah has been the best bowler of Mumbai Indians, but in the match played against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), his balls were also heavily washed.
Talking about RCB, the team has won 2 out of 3 matches. The team picked up form after starting this fresh season with a defeat. Under the command of Captain Faf du Plessis Captain RCB, RCB Wall lost to PBKS by 5 wickets in the first match. After that they beat KKR by 3 wickets and RR by 4 wickets. Won two matches in a row.
Faf du du Plessis is looking in fine form. Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed are also batting well. But, today the captain of RCB would like the runs to be scored faster, along with the former captain of the team Virat Kohli (Virat Kohli) should also show some flair. The inclusion of Glenn Maxwell will give more strength to the batting unit of RCB.
