Jaipur, April 22: After losing the first three matches, Mumbai Indians returned to the road of victory But, there is no relief in the team led by Hardik Pandya Because, barring Jasprit Bumrah, no bowler can be trusted In this situation, MI Paulton Brigade is coming down to Jaipur today against the most consistent Rajasthan Royals of the tournament. This is the first return match between Mumbai and Rajasthan in the current IPL
Mumbai Indians have won three of their last four matches Where most of them rely on batting performance MI also won the last match against Punjab Kings As a result, in front of the strong Rajasthan batting, the big test for the bowlers is in Mumbai Jasprit Bumrah is the most consistent and stingy bowler in this tournament But, bowling coach Lasith Malinga knows well that it is not possible to win all the matches with Bumrah alone.
Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal and captain Hardik Pandya himself have been a headache for bowling management. Even if they pick up wickets, they are spending a lot of runs before that As a result, the opponent is picking up big runs on the scoreboard in the beginning In this case, additional pressure is being created on the batting It should be noted that Mumbai Indians won two of the three matches at home Where it all depends on the batting
In this case, in front of bowling like Rajasthan, hard-hitting game will not be easy in Jaipur ground There will be additional responsibility on bowling Shreyas Gopal, the only leg-spinner besides Bumrah, is giving Mumbai hope Rajasthan, on the other hand, have had to rely on Sanju Samson and Ryan Parag in batting so far Two openers Jos Buttler and Yasswi Jaiswal were out of form Jos returned to form with two centuries in two matches However, Yashwir still has no runs in his bat Despite starting the innings well, he is giving away wickets by playing wrong shots
However, the form of Nos. 3 and 4 Sanju and Rian is promising And in the lower middle-order Simron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell are working to finish the match. Notably, Buttler also returned after finishing the match against KKR As a result, Rajasthan’s batting is the most consistent in the current IPL As a result, the big test of Mumbai bowling at the Swai Man Singh Stadium However, Mumbai will rely on their opener and the form of Suryakumar Yadav Teelak Verma also gets runs on the scoreboard in the middle overs
However, it will not be easy to score runs in pinch-hitting in front of the Rajasthan Royals bowling Especially, playing big shots in front of Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Keshav Maharaj and Yuzvendra Chahal is more likely to lose wickets. Which has happened against almost every team this season As a result, Rajasthan Royals are far ahead in the return match of IPL
