The mighty Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on the recuperating Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday.

MI Predict XI
Rohit Sharma
Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is off to a great start in IPL 2024. The star opening batsman has scored 297 runs in seven innings this season, including an unbeaten 105 against the Chennai Super Kings. His form will be crucial for MI’s success against RR on Monday.
