MI vs RR Match Preview
On Saturday, the Mumbai Indians will face the Rajasthan Royals in the ninth match of the IPL 2022. Mumbai Indians have a history of losing their opening match in the IPL. They were very much in the game against the Delhi Capitals at one point, but some superb batting from Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel stole the game away from them. They draw a lot of positives from the loss, thanks to some outstanding performances by Ishan Kishan, Basil Thampi, and Murugan Ashwin. This is only the beginning, and they have tremendous potential to make a return.
The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are one of the most evenly matched teams in this year’s IPL. They were outstanding in their first game, winning by 61 runs over the Sunrisers. The first five hitters performed admirably, while subsequent bowlers finished the job. They are the team to beat in this event and appear to be quite formidable.

MI vs RR Must Picks
In his maiden appearance for the Mumbai Indians, Murugan Ashwin demonstrated that he is up to the task. He only gave up 14 runs in his four overs against the Delhi Capitals, but he also took two wickets.
Ishan Kishan, the most expensive pick in the IPL auction 2022, proved he is worth every penny with a stunning unbeaten innings of 81* runs against Delhi Capitals. In this match, we may expect more fireworks from him.
Rohit Sharma batted like a leader and gave the Mumbai Indians a fantastic start against the Delhi Capitals. He was out after scoring 41 runs off 32 balls. We should expect a big score from his willow if he stays for more than 10 overs.
Devdutt Padikkal, in his new role for the Rajasthan Royals, performed some lovely strokes against the Sunrisers before being bowled out for 41 runs. It will be fascinating to see how he approaches his innings against the Mumbai Indians.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s bowling heroics against the Sunrisers would have him ecstatic. He took three wickets for 5.5 runs. He can rapidly read the batter’s mentality and has extensive game knowledge.
