IPL 2022, Match 44, RR vs MI preview: Rajasthan Royals look to extend Mumbai's miseries

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians haven’t won a single game in IPL 2022 and will be playing for pride when they take on the high-on-confidence Rajasthan Royals for the second time in IPL 2022 on Saturday at Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Rajasthan had earlier defeated Mumbai in their first meeting in IPL 2022.

Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals have won 6 matches out of 8 matches and are currently placed 2nd in the points table. Jos Buttler has been playing brilliantly and with 499 runs, he is leading the list of the players with most runs in IPL 2022. Skipper Sanju Samson and Devdutt Paddikal have been looking great with the bat. Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna have been performing well with the bowl for the team and would look to give yet another win to Rajasthan.

Roht Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are currently placed at the bottom in the points table and have a mathematical chance to qualify for the playoffs. Despite their losing streak, Suryakumar Yadav & Tilak Varma have been playing brilliantly for Mumbai. The team’s bowling unit has failed miserably this season and the likes of Jasprit Bumrah who has taken just 6 wickets in 8 matches would look to make an impact against Rajasthan.
