Jos Buttler: The explosive batsman of RR at all cost needs to fire and bat as an opener against MI. Buttler has currently been wasted batting in the middle order and if they hope to upset MI they need Buttler batting from the first over.

Jofra Archer: The spearhead of RR bowling attack, Archer will be a major threat for the inform MI batting. In the first powerplay and death over Steve Smith will be giving the ball to his strike bowler to win his side the match. 

Quinton de Kock: The South African has continued his rich vein of form this season. He remained unbeaten in the previous match and looked in complete command of his batting. De Kock is a sure shot pick in the fantasy team considering his incredible consistency this season. 

Jasprit Bumrah: The match winner for MI with the ball will be a notable threat for all the key RR batsmen. Bumrah has bowled with tremendous control and pace in the recent matches. His 4 overs will ultimately decide the fate and if RR can dominate Bumrah they will be favourites to win.
