The Rajasthan Royals are up against Mumbai Indians in the 50th match of IPL 2025 in Jaipur and would be looking to win back-to-back games. They are in a must-win situation, while a slip-up could also prove costly for Mumbai Indians.
RR Enter MI Clash Without Two Star Bowlers
The five-time champions have not made any change after five consecutive wins coming into this game, while RR have been forced to change their personnel. Wanindu Hasaranga is out due to niggle, while Sandeep Sharma has broken his finger. In Hasaranga's place, RR have brought in Fazalhaq Farooqi, while Akash Madhwal is also set to play his first match.
Hasaranga has also previously missed a game due to injury. He has always been injury-prone and RR would hope that he gets fit soon, and will be available for the upcoming games. Sandeep Sharma's IPL 2025 campaign though, looks over, and in his absence other bowlers would have to step up.
Hasaranga's absence means that Riyan Parag would have to perform the role of a second spinner. They also have the likes of Nitish Rana who can bowl off-breaks if needed.
RR Aim To End MI's Winning Run In IPL 2025
Rajasthan Royals need to win this game though to keep their hopes alive, and would have to bowl well and keep MI in check who have been in red-hot form. The pitch is expected to be pretty good to bat and RR chased down a target of over 200 without much fuss in the last match.
Mumbai Indians though, have a quality pace attack with bowlers like Boult, Bumrah and Chahar in their line-up and it would be interesting to see how young Vaibhav Suryavanshi goes about his business against them.
