These five players have the potential to make a significant impact in today's IPL match -

Rohit Sharma (MI)

Mumbai's star opening batter Rohit Sharma looked in excellent form in both matches this season, scoring a match-winning 78 runs against Kolkata and 35 runs against Delhi on the challenging surface of Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Guwahati pitch is also difficult for the batter, so once again Rohit's experience is important for the Mumbai batting line-up.

Riyan Parag (RR)

Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has not performed well in both matches, but he is a very talented all-rounder. He scored 22 runs and took a wicket in this IPL season. Royals fans expect a good performance from Parag at Barsapara Cricket Stadium and see him as a key player for RR vs MI Today Match Prediction.

Jasprit Bumrah (MI)

Dhruv Jurel (RR)

Jurel has become a dependable middle-order batter for Rajasthan Royals. His ability to accelerate in the death overs and finish games makes him a key player, especially if Rajasthan lose early wickets. He scored a brilliant 75 runs at a strike rate of 178 in the last match against Gujarat Titans and helped his team to post a good total.

Mitchell Santner (MI)

Santner adds value with both bat and ball. In the previous match against Delhi, he scored 18 runs off 13 balls and also took a wicket. His experience is very important for MI, particularly on the uneven surface of Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
