IPL 2026: Meme Factory Comes Alive

Some user on X has also been quick to recall the embarrassment from a few years ago, when ground staff at the Guwahati stadium resorted to using hair dryers to dry the wet pitch during an international match.

IPL 2026: RR vs MI Predicted Playing 11

While we await the update from the centre on toss and playing eleven. Here's our predicted playing 11 of the two sides.

Rajasthan Royals (RR): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Ravi Bishnoi, Nandre Burger

Mumbai Indians (MI): Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickleton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Sherfane Rutherford, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult.

RR vs MI Live: Rajasthan Royals Upbeat Under New Captain

Under Riyan Parag, Rajasthan Royals have found a fresh rhythm and balance. The opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi offers both stability and aggression, setting the tone upfront. Their middle order stands out as one of the most cohesive, with Sanju Samson anchoring and Dhruv Jurel delivering in finishing roles. The bowling attack is anchored by the pace of Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, while Ravi Bishnoi's leg-spin provides a vital edge on a surface that tends to assist slower bowlers.

MI vs RR Live Updates: Concern for Mumbai

Mumbai Indians head into the contest with a few key selection questions, most notably around the fitness of captain Hardik Pandya. If Pandya is fully fit to bowl his quota of four overs, it significantly improves MI's balance-something they sorely missed in their previous outing. His presence as a genuine all-rounder allows Mumbai to strengthen both their batting depth and bowling flexibility, making him central to their plans against a strong Rajasthan Royals side.

News from the centre is that Rain has stopped and toss is delayed due to wet outfield.
