MI vs RR Playing 11, IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Team News, Predicted Lineups

Mumbai Indians (MI) host the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 69 of the IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

For MI, who have managed only 4 wins in 13 matches, it has been their worst season in a long time, heavily plagued by an existential crisis and internal differences. Playing purely for pride, Hardik Pandya's side will aim to end the season on a winning note at home.

Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal's Rajasthan Royals are arriving with great momentum. Having successfully chased down a 200+ run total against LSG in their previous game without Riyan Parag, RR has a great chance of reaching the playoffs and will look to repeat their earlier dominance over Mumbai.

MI vs RR Team News

Mumbai Indians (MI): Captain Hardik Pandya will hope for a strong showing from his top order, as superstars like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma have lacked consistent power-hitting this season. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah has been wicketless in two of his last three matches and will need to strike early alongside Deepak Chahar. Corbin Bosch will be a crucial asset, having emerged as a top wicket-taker with 8 wickets in his last 3 innings.

Rajasthan Royals (RR): The Royals will be led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, as regular skipper Riyan Parag missed the last game due to a hamstring injury. The team expects an electrifying start from Jaiswal and 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed a 38-ball 93 in his last outing. Dhruv Jurel, who has scored two consecutive fifties, and Donovan Ferreira will be tasked with anchoring the middle order and finishing the innings. Jofra Archer remains the top gun in their bowling attack, supported by Sandeep Sharma.
