The first match of Saturday’s doubleheader will see Mumbai Indians (MI) go up against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the DY Patil Sports Academy. RR will hope to continue the winning momentum while MI will be keen to return to winning ways.
The five-time IPL champions didn’t get going at all in their first encounter against Delhi Capitals. Despite the loss, there were a lot of positives from the loss with some spectacular performances from Ishan Kishan, Basil Thampi, and Murugan Ashwin.
Moreover, with Suryakumar Yadav returning to the playing XI after missing the first game will be a huge boost to the side.
On the other hand, RR have impressed the most after the first round of games. They have one of the most-balanced sides in IPL 2022 and boast one of the best bowling attack. They had a superb start to the campaign and hope to make it two of two.
