IPL 2026 RR vs MI: Check probable playing 11 and head-to-head record for today's match

Mumbai Indians will be hoping for the return of their skipper Hardik Pandya as they aim to recover from a recent defeat against an in-form Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash on Tuesday.

Pandya missed the previous game due to illness, and his absence proved costly as MI suffered a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals.

Rajasthan Royals’ Strong Form

Rajasthan’s top order has been in excellent touch, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi providing aggressive starts. Dhruv Jurel has added stability in the middle overs, while captain Riyan Parag has impressed with his leadership, especially in high-pressure situations.


Their bowling attack has also been effective, with Ravi Bishnoi emerging as a key wicket-taker and Tushar Deshpande delivering crucial overs at the death.
