IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals' strongest predicted XI against Mumbai Indians
RR have already won a couple of their games in as many attempts.
5 Min Read
Rajasthan Royals have nothing to worry about as far as their playing combination is concerned for their upcoming fixture in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Mumbai Indians. This fierce encounter will be played at the ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday, April 07, and will be a home fixture for the 2008 champions.
The Riyan Parag-led side won a nail-biting clash against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, where Tushar Deshpande kept nerves of steel to deliver a crucial final over, with only 11 runs at his disposal. With the win against GT, the Rajasthan-based franchise has completed back-to-back wins and is dominating the points table. As a result, any significant changes to their playing XI on Tuesday seem highly unlikely.
Here's RR's predicted playing XI for Match 13 versus MI
Top-order: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (WK)
It is no surprise that the Royals have among the most deadly opening combinations in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Despite the Mumbai cricketer being highly sought after, it is the danger posed by the 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi that is expected to wreak havoc in the middle. The two can take the maximum advantage of powerplay overs, which is exactly what RR will be looking for.
At number three, youngster Dhruv Jurel is expected to show his firepower in the middle. He started slow against GT but accelerated at the exact moment to amass 75 off just 42 deliveries and took the team's total to a formidable one. Jurel is also expected to handle the duties behind the wickets with gloves in his hands.
