MI vs RR IPL 2024 Playing 11: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Team News, Probable Lineup & Impact Players

Mumbai Indians will be up against Rajasthan Royals in Match 14 of IPL 2024 on Monday (April 1) at the Wankhede Stadium.

The Paltans are currently at the bottom of the table with two defeats in two matches, whereas Rajasthan Royals have won both of their first two matches and sit 3rd in the table.

MI vs RR IPL 2024 Match 14 - The Preview & Team News

Mumbai Indians take to their home stadium for the first time this season. After two defeats on the road, they would be desperate to register their first points. Hardik Pandya's journey as MI captain has started on a sour note, but a familiar surrounding may change the tide for the five-time IPL champions.

In terms of the team, we may see a few changes. Kwena Maphaka had a torrid IPL debut in the last match and the South African youngster may make way for Luke Wood. Akash Madhwal had a decent season last year and the left-arm pacer may be in the running as well. Romario Shepherd or Dewald Brevis may get slotted in place of Shams Mulani, who hasn't been productive thus far.

Rajasthan Royals are looking a well-oiled machine at the moment. They have a balanced side and their Indian players are performing, which is a massive plus point. Keshav Maharaj replaced Prasidh Krishna but RR are likely to field the same team against Mumbai. They had a batting mishap in the last match, but Riyan Parag powered them towards a winning total. Against the Mumbai side, the Royals need more contribution from their top three.

Rajasthan have a dismal record against MI in the last four years. Since 2020, the Royals have won only twice out of seven matches against the Indians, it is the perfect time to bridge some of the gap as they face a shaky Mumbai side this time around.
