Rajasthan Royals are among the three teams that have made a perfect start in IPL2024 as they have, just like Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, won their first two matches.
They started their campaign with a 20-run win against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and followed it up with a 12-run victory over Delhi Capitals at the same venue.
This is their first away match, and they will be banking on their in-form bowlers — Sandeep Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin were the stars of their first win with their tight bowling in the death overs while Sandeep along with Avesh Khan and Impact Substitute Nandre Burger secured a 12-run win.
On the batting front, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler provided them with a decent start in the first match while skipper Sanju Samson (82 not out) started with a fifty. In the second match, Riyan Parag came up with an absolute gem of an innings, hitting an unbeaten 84 off 45 balls — that helped the Royals reach a competitive 185/5.
Rajasthan Royals have won both their matches by defending the score but Wankhede is a stadium where the dew plays a key role.
The two teams have met each other on 27 occasions in the tournament, with five-time champions MI holding the advantage over RR in their matchups.
MI are currently struggling to find a rhythm in the ongoing IPL as they lost both of their IPL matches and the side will now look to win the third match they will be on advantage because they are facing Samson & Co. in their home ground.
