In their upcoming IPL 2024 match, MI takes against RR on Monday at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
The Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will play their upcoming IPL 2024 match on Monday, and it should be an exciting one. MI is currently without a win and at the bottom of the standings. RR, meanwhile, is in third place and has won both of their games so far this year.
This season, MI has disappointed, and Hardik Pandya’s tenure as captain hasn’t gone as expected. In an unexpected move made before the auction last year, Hardik returned to MI. After being released by MI in 2022, he joined Gujarat Titans and was named captain right away. In their inaugural season, he guided GT to victory and a second-place finish.
His captaincy stint with GT won laurels but plenty of questions are being asked of him this year. Prior to becoming captain, he only opened the attack six times in 92 IPL matches. Since becoming captain in 2022, he has opened the bowling in 17 occasions out of 33 fixtures. This season, he has opened the bowling in both games for MI. Meanwhile, holding Jasprit Bumrah for his second over till the 13th against Sunrisers Hyderabad turned out to be the wrong decision.
However, RR has had an incredible start to the season. Sanju Samson, the skipper, has been doing well, and Riyan Parag is finally proving why he was chosen. Trent Boult has led the pace battery with dominance, and Sandeep Sharma has turned back the clock with impressive performances in the bowling department.
Jos Buttler, the opener, needs to get back to his best, even if they are playing well. Last year, he was awarded five ducks. This season, he has only managed two 11-point games. It will be essential if RR can get back into shape because dropping him is not an option.
