As the Indian Premier League (IPL) gears up for its 17th edition, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the clash of titans on the cricket field. Among the numerous rivalries that have emerged over the years, the encounters between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have always been highly anticipated.
These two teams, representing two powerhouse cities of Indian cricket, have engaged in memorable battles that have left spectators on the edge of their seats.
MI, undoubtedly, stands as one of the most dominant teams in IPL history. With championship titles in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, MI has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Their consistency stems from a well-knit core group of players and astute leadership.
On the flip side, RR, after initial success, went through a phase of underwhelming performances before making a resurgence. The Rajasthan Royals clinched the inaugural IPL title but struggled to maintain that momentum until recent seasons, where they displayed a resurgence, reaching the final in the last season.
