MI vs RR Key Players

Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma is looking pretty good with his stroke making in the middle. He contributed in giving the Sunrisers a pretty big scare last game and will be eager to carry his momentum going forward.

Riyan Parag

MI vs RR, Battles to Watch

Trent Boult vs Rohit Sharma: Trent Boult and Rohit Sharma generally have some nice banter between each other. The duo challenge easier pretty well as too with Trent Boult and his left-arm pace putting Rohit Sharma in discomfort in the past. It will be interesting to see if he can recreate the same though with Rohit now batting with a lot more intent.

MI vs RR Match Tips
