Gopal
If RR Bats First
(no data at all... MI has always batted first against RR in the last 10 matches that they've played against each other)
PROBABLE XIs
MI - Rohit(C), QDK(Wk), Lynn/Kishan, Surya, Hardik, Pollard, Krunal, Jayant/Coulter-Nile, Chahar, Boult, Bumrah
Probable Changes
The team has been playing only 3 overseas players, which means that they have an open slot to bring in Lynn for either Kishan or QDK as both haven't been able to perform yet, or any overseas bowler amongst Milne, Jansen, Neesham and Coulter-Nile, in place of Jayant Yadav.
RR - Buttler, Jaiswal, Samson(C/Wk), Dube, Miller, Parag, Tewatia, Morris, Unadkat, Mustafizur, Sakariya
Probable Changes
They would ideally stick with the same XI for this game before they can bring in Dussen into the XI and hope that some franchises loan them some player in the mid season transfer window, after losing their other 4 overseas players from their season.
Most selected C/VC choices
Rohit, Samson
Safe C/VC choices for SL and Mini GL teams
Buttler (especially if chasing), QDK/Lynn, Surya
C/VC choices for GL teams
Morris, Boult, Kishan (if plays), Miller (while chasing), Tewatia (differential pick)
My Fantasy Team (SL)
(Pre Toss)
Wk - Buttler, Samson, Kishan/Lynn(whoever plays)
Bat - Rohit, Surya, Jaiswal, Miller/Pollard/Hardik
AR - Morris
Bowl - Boult, Chahar/Bumrah, Sakariya
Match Prediction
MI to bat first and win.
