1. Team News – Rajasthan Royals
The Royals will look to retain the winning combination from their last match against Chennai Super Kings. If at all they look to change, it could be in the bowling department with a Shreyas Gopal and Kartik Tyagi coming in for Mayank Markande and Akash Singh.
The batting, which entirely depended on the skipper Samson, finally clicked after openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis got some runs under their belt in the last two matches, while Shivam Dube played a match-winning knock against CSK.
2. Team News - Mumbai Indians
Reigning champions Mumbai Indians have been hit with some poor form of their ever-dependable star players. They have tried and tested most of the bench strength to no luck. Despite the result in their last match, Mumbai may retain the same 11 and may only opt to Rahul Chahar to the 11. Also Saurabh Tiwary could be an injury worry ahead of the match.
