Preview:

Rajasthan Royals will go one-on-one against Mumbai Indians in the 51^st match of the IPL 2021. It’s a must-win match for both teams and as they are aiming for the one remaining one playoff spot. Rajasthan Royals kept their playoffs hope alive by beating the current table-toppers Chennai Super Kings in their previous match by 7 wickets with 15 balls left in the game. They made plenty of changes to their playing XI and they got the desired result. The tournament is still wide open and Rajasthan need to win their remaining 2 matches to make it to the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, didn’t perform well as a unit in the second leg of the IPL. Batters failed miserably, and as a result, they managed to win only one of their last 5 matches. They are currently placed at the 7^th spot in the standings with 10 points. They have been in this situation many times and know how to win matches under pressure.

RR vs MI Top Picks for RR vs MI Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Yashasvi Jaiswal finally scored the maiden half-century of his IPL career in the last match against Chennai Super Kings. He achieved that feat in just 19 deliveries, with a six-over-long off bringing up his fifty. In 8 matches in this tournament, he has scored 237 runs at an average of 29.62.

Suryakumar Yadav showed signs of returning to his usual form in the last game against the Delhi Capitals. He batted freely and scored a handy 33 runs from 26 deliveries. Mumbai Indians will be expecting big runs from him in this match.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Shivam Dube, who spent the early days on the bench in the second leg of the IPL, finally got his chance against Chennai Super Kings and proved his selection in an excellent manner. He took on the bowlers and smashed unbeaten 64 runs from 42 deliveries.

Krunal Pandya has been a tad off-colour in this IPL. 134 runs with the bat and 5 wickets with the ball doesn’t justify his potential. However, he has got the backing from team management and we can expect him to do well in this match.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Chetan Sakariya is doing an exceptional job with the ball for the Royals. He hasn’t given away too many runs in this IPL so far. In 12 matches in this competition, he has picked up 12 wickets at an economy of 8.15.

Jasprit Bumrah is the key bowler for Mumbai Indians over the years. He has scalped the most wickets for his side, with 17 scalps in 12 matches at an economy of 7.59.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Sanju Samson is in the race for Orange Cap. The Rajasthan skipper has had an outstanding IPL 2021, where he has mustered 480 runs in 12 matches at an average of 48, which includes one century and 2 half-centuries.

RR vs MI Risky Captaincy Choices:

Kieron Pollard has managed to score 232 runs in 12 matches in this IPL and has picked up 5 wickets as well. Considering his current form, he will be a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Saurabh Tiwary is highly underrated, as he is doing his job quietly and consistently with the bat for Mumbai Indians. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

There is no doubt that Kuldip Yadav is a talented bowler, but considering there are better options in the bowlers’ slot, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
