The condition of Mumbai Indians is bad in this season of IPL 2024. Hardik Pandya's team has faced defeat in both the matches played so far. MI is also currently at number 10 in the points table. In such a situation, everyone's eyes are on Monday's match to see whether Mumbai Indians can win on their home ground or not. Mumbai Indians will face Rajasthan Royals in the 14th match of the season. This match will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai's hand in Wankhede
While Mumbai Indians have been performing very poorly this IPL season, Rajasthan Royals have been in great form. Sanju Samson's team has won both its opening matches. In such a situation, RR's morale is higher than MI. But Mumbai Indians have often performed well on their home pitch. So far 8 matches have been played in the IPL between MI and RR at Wankhede, out of which Mumbai Indians have won 5 and Rajasthan Royals have won 3 matches.
head to head record
At the same time, if we talk about head-to-head between the two teams, out of 28 matches, Mumbai has won 15 and Rajasthan has won 12 matches. In such a situation, cricket lovers are eagerly waiting for this match. But in this season of IPL, many questions are being raised on the poor performance of MI and the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Then after the team meeting held after the second match, it is also being speculated that maybe Hardik's team will look better in this match. There are four lethal players in their team who can snatch this match from the hands of Rajasthan.
1- Rohit Sharma
Hitman and captain of the Indian cricket team and former captain of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma is also in great form in this season of IPL. With his batting, Rohit can help Mumbai Indians win on the Wankhede pitch. He has given a good start to the team in the last two matches against Gujarat and Sunrisers.
2-Jasprit Bumrah
Along with this, if we talk about bowling, if Hardik Pandya's captaincy is right and Jasprit Bumrah gets a chance to bowl at the right time, then this match can be in the name of Mumbai Indians. Bumrah has bowled brilliantly in both the matches. He also took three wickets against Gujarat.
3-Tilak Verma
In the last match, Tilak Verma of Mumbai Indians had performed brilliantly. His explosive half-century in the high-scoring match against Sunrisers was worth watching. This powerful left-handed batsman is in good form this season. The team has high expectations from Tilak in this match also.
4- Ishan Kishan
As far as Ishan Kishan is concerned, he seems to be returning to some extent after the last match. His bat did not work against Gujarat but his explosive style against Sunrisers has raised hopes that he can perform better against Rajasthan Royals.
