RR vs MI IPL 2024 Probable 11: Royals will look to exploit toothless Mumbai bowling barring Bumrah

RR vs MI IPL 2024 with Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah

Rajasthan Royals are ready to host Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. The two teams will contest in match 38 of the IPL 2024. The night match is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

Rajasthan Royals

Either Yashasvi Jaiswal or Jos Buttler will make way during the team's bowling innings, as seamer Kuldeep Sen steps in as a potential game-changer. The availability of Sandeep Sharma for the match remains uncertain.

Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his prowess in the previous IPL season, amassing 625 runs at an impressive average of 48.07 and a strike rate of 163.61. Notably, over half of these runs were accumulated during the powerplay, with Jaiswal contributing 361 runs in that phase. However, in the current IPL season, he has struggled, managing only 121 runs at an average of 17.28 and a strike rate of 145.78. Despite the stellar performances of Parag, Samson, and Buttler in the batting department, the Royals will be eager for Jaiswal to rediscover his form.

Mumbai Indians

Following Suryakumar Yadav's return from injury, he has been deployed as a substitute for impact situations, often replaced by seamer Akash Madhwal during the team's bowling innings. Mumbai may opt to maintain this strategy in Jaipur as well. Gerald Coetzee has notably elevated his performance recently, emerging as Mumbai's second-highest wicket-taker with 12 dismissals, trailing only behind Bumrah. Amidst a bowling unit that has struggled to find consistency, Mumbai will rely on Coetzee and Bumrah to contain the Royals' batting lineup.
