Background
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2024: It's the Rajasthan Royals (RR) up against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday (April 22). Welcome one and all to our live coverage of match number 38 of the seventeenth season oft the tournament as two former champion sides line up against each other. While it is MI who are the five-time winners of the competition, RR haven't won it since the inaugural edition in 2008.
IPL 2024 RR vs MI Live Score, Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians: When it comes to IPL 2024 though, it's a contrasting story altogether. RR are the team that are playing like champions. They have won 6 of their 7 matches already and are close to confirming a berth for themselves in the Playoffs. They are sitting at the top of the IPL 2024 points table. On the other hand, MI have 3 wins from 7 matches and are at the seventh place on the table with 6 points.
Rajasthan have found a way to cross the line this season again and again. The reason is that their middle-order has stepped up to the party. The bulk of the scoring may have still been done from Jos Buttler, Sanju Samsom and Riyan Parag but the contributions from Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell have been equally crucial to the team's success.
Butter has an incredible record against MI and with Sanju Samson & Co. will hope that he can continue his form as the Men in Pinklook to strengthen their position at the top of the table. For Hardik Pandya's men, it would be a chance for a better second half of the league stage which can still propel them into the Playoffs and that too with momentum behind them.
In the reverse fixture, it was RR who beat MI by 6 wickets. Will it be a similar story this time around or have MI learnt their leassons? We shall find out together over the course of the next few hours.
