Mumbai Indians have had a terrible start to their season under new captain Hardik Pandya. They lost to Gujarat Titans in their opening game by six runs in Ahmedabad. In their second encounter, they conceded a record 277 runs in their 20 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad before being restricted to 246/5 in Hyderabad. After two disappointing results, Mumbai will be playing in front of their home fans for the first time. It will be interesting to see the reception Hardik gets at the ground, which is the home of Rohit Sharma, who the all-rounder replaced as MI skipper.
Rajasthan Royals are two of the three unbeaten sides in IPL 2024 thus far. They started with a 20-run win against Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur. In their second game, Sanju Samson and Co. Got the better of Delhi Capitals in a tight affair.
