When these two teams met previously at the Wankhede Stadium in IPL 2023, 426 runs were scored. The Rajasthan Royals batted first in the game, and it was an all-Yashashvi Jaiswal show.

MI vs RR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Mumbai Indians Heavy Fantasy XI

• Top order batters like Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan could impact this wicket. Keeping more batters from the top five will be a safer approach. 
• Jasprit Bumrah has looked good with the ball in this tournament so far. His ability to pick up wickets in the powerplays and the death overs makes him a crucial choice. 
• Gerald Coetzee's pace could prove to be a handful on this wicket. Though he has been expensive in the tournament so far, Coetzee could make the difference with the ball. 

Rajasthan Royals Heavy Fantasy XI

• Yashasvi Jaiswal has yet to fire in IPL 2024. However, he might enjoy the wicket at the Wankhede stadium and this could be the game where he regains his form. 
• Jos Buttler failed to fire in the tournament like his opening partner. The Wankhede wicket might just be the strip where Buttler gets back to his rhythm.
• Yuzvendra Chahal has been doing a decent job with the ball and will be a key option for this game. Trent Boult might prove to be a deciding factor on this wicket.  

MI vs RR Winner Prediction

The Rajasthan Royals are the team in form, but Mumbai Indians being the most successful team in the tournamet cannot be written off. If the bigger names of the Mumbai camp come to the party, they might pick up the two points from the game.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 29 Runs in 2 Matches
• The young Indian opener has failed to impress in the first two games. However, Yashasvi has a great record (Avg: 54.50, SR: 173) at the Wankhede Stadium and might be a crucial choice in the game. 

Sanju Samson (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 97 Runs in 2 Matches
• The RR-skipper has got off to a good start in the tournament. The form is with him and Sanju Samson enjoys batting at the Wankhede Stadium. His current form and the record at the venue makes Samson a vital choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

MI vs RR Differential Picks

Ishan Kishan (MI)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 34 Runs in 2 Matches
• The Indian wicketkeeper has failed to impress in IPL 2024. But his aggressive batting style might just find the way at a batting friendly Wankhede stadium. Ishan Kishan could be your contest winning choice for the game. 

Riyan Parag (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 127 Runs in 2 Matches
• It has been a dream start to the season for this Assam-born all-rounder. Riyan Parag in his current form should be an obvious choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
