MI vs RR Dream11 Predictions - IPL 2022 | 2 Apr

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is on in full swing and we’ve got a double header on weekends too. Today’s first game will see 5-time champs Mumbai Indians in action after they lost their opening game to Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede. It’s time for redemption and a chance to open their account in IPL 2022 as they play Match 9 of the season, scheduled to take place at the DY Patil Stadium.

They’re taking on Rajasthan Royals who took an early lead on the IPL 2022 points table by a big win to start their campaign this season. A trend seen in IPL 2022 so far is that teams are choosing to chase targets and only one game in this season has been won batting first so far.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Mumbai leads 3-2.
8 games in IPL 2022 – 7 won batting second.
Ishan Kishan – fifties in all of his last 4 IPL innings.

Mumbai Indians

Having missed the opening game, we have fit again Suryakumar Yadav who will slot into the middle order and given his consistency over the last couple of years, there’s no chance of leaving him our of our MI vs RR fantasy team today. The most expensive player at the IPL 2022 Auction in Ishan Kishan started with a bang and we think he’s got more to give at the top of the order, so keep him in your team as well.

On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah usually starts a IPL season with lesser wickets so we’re going to pick Tymal Mills in our team because he’s been great over the last year or so and his T20 variations help any franchise he plays for. Tim David is likely to bat higher up the order and get a little but more time at the crease, so we’re picking him over Pollard because the former may get an over or two with the ball as well.

Rajasthan Royals

After Nathan Coulter-Nile limped off in the last game, we’re not too sure of how fit he is but there is a ready replacement in Jimmy Neesham who we think is a better pick either way. Yashasvi Jaiswal is kind of struggling when he plays in the IPL and tries to force his had rather than playing his normal game, so we’re keeping him out until his nerves are settled and would pick Devdutt Padikkal in our team instead.

Released by the RCB franchise and axed from the 2021 T20 World Cup squad, Yuzvendra Chahal had a lot to prove and prove he did in the first game. We think it’s going to be a high wicket-taking season for him, so ensure he makes your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) MI vs RR fantasy team today. Prasidh Krishna is also very high on confidence after some good performance against West Indies recently.
