There have been mistakes, and there have been blunders but a point to remember is that the name of the franchise is Mumbai Indians and they could change their fate anytime and at any stage of the tournament. They are one of the strongest teams in the current season on paper and they have shown it on the field sometimes but it is time for them to go full throttle or the title is quite far.
The Mumbai Indians, who had a poor start to the season, are again afloat in the standings and will be eager to add more victories to their record against RR. When these two teams last squared off in early April, MI was unable to handle the cunning of Yuzvendra Chahal and the left-arm seam of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger.
MI lost three games in a row before their last meeting, but they have since won three of four, so they will be hoping to build on that. They have trusted more on the allrounder this time along with Bumrah and Coetzee holding their bowling line-up.
While MI have a totally fit squad, RR have got a few niggles. Both Sandeep Sharma (side strain) and Nandre Burger (leg ache) missed a couple of games due to injuries. However, RR director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara says that Burger would have been part of the last game had RR batted first.
