In game 42 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will face off.
The game will take place on April 30 at the Wankhede Stadium.
MI will be hoping for big things from their stars to help them resume their winning ways. RR, however, will work to solidify their leadership position.
Let us look at the key player’s battle:
1. Trent Boult vs Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma must perform spectacularly for MI in the upcoming games. In seven games this season, he has fallen behind the pace five times and scored 181 runs.
He’ll have to go up against RR and negate Trent Boult. In five IPL matches, the New Zealander only dismissed him once.
With a pitiful strike rate of 107.14, Rohit has only scored 15 runs against him.
2. Yuzvendra Chahal vs Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav is slowly regaining his form this year, and he will be essential in the middle overs when the hosts need to score quickly. But Yuzvendra Chahal of RR will be his toughest opponent.
They have faced off 11 times in the IPL, with SKY scoring 76 runs while striking 120 points and 63. He has been fired three times by Chahal.
3. Jason Behrendorff vs Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler got off to a fast start this season but has since lost his way. He has been placed three times in the previous four games.
As a result, Jason Behrendoff might stand a chance in the powerplays against the Englishman. In two T20 matches, Butler has scored 20 runs at a strike rate of 153.84 against Behrendorff.
In 91 T20 innings, Behrendorff has taken 57 powerplay wickets.
