Yesterday in IPL Defending Champions Mumbai Indians have defeated RR by 57 runs and also hold the first position in Points Table. Mumbai has won 4 out of 6 matches in this IPL and seems in good position to qualify for playoffs. On the other hand Rajasthan is still struggling and has managed to won only 2 games out of 5 matches. 

In last Match Mi  did first batting and scored 193 runs at the loss of 4 wickets in 20 overs. For MI Suryakumar yadav was the highest scorer and he scored 79* runs in 47 balls, Rohit Sharma got start but failed to convert that into a big scored and was out at 35 runs in 23 balls. In last overs some good boundaries from Hardik 30* in 19 balls helped MI to score 68 runs in last 5 overs. For RR in bowling department Shreyas Gopal took wickets and conceded 28 runs in his 4 overs quota.

RR start was not good and on second ball of the inning RR lost the wicket of Young Yashasvi Jaiswal. Sooner Smith(6 runs) and Sanju (0 runs) got out and RR was struggling at 12 for 3 then Jos Butler (70 runs in 44 balls) played a great inning and has completed his fifty. But he alone failed to cross the mountain like target in front of Jasprit Bumrah (4 overs 20 runs and 4 wickets) and Trent Boult(4 Overs 26 runs and 2 wickets). And hence RR was bowled out at 136 runs in 18.1 overs.

After losing back to back 3 games RR is reached to 7th position in points table and now it is going to be difficult for RR to win 6 matches out of 9 in order to qualify for Playoffs. But the good news is world's best all rounder Ben Strokes has arrived to UAE and is quarintined but soon he will join the team and will provide a kind of strength in both batting and bowling.

Today in Indian Premiere League, Rajasthan Royals is going to fight with kolkata Knight Riders.Rajasthan has won both the games in this IPL and has scored 200+ runs in both the games.In first game RR has scored 217 runs and won the game against CSK whereas in second game RR had chased 224 runs in 19.3 overs against KXIP. For RR Sanju Samson and captain Smith have played very well and has completed two back to back half centuries in two games and both are looking in a great form. Overnight super hero Rahul Tewatiya who snatched victory from KXIP in just 1 overs in last game seems in touch both with bat and ball. In first game he played the key role with his spin bowling and in second match with is charismatic batting. His presence will help RR in both the department of game i.e Batting as well as bowling. Jos Butler's performance may be the concern for RR as he failed to score runs in previous game though it was the first game of his in IPL. RR will be hoping for a great start with Smith and Butler as they are going to play against KKR which seems a balanced side after inclusion of Pat Cummins. KKR has bought him for a hefty INR 15.5 crores. In first game he conceded 49 runs against defending Champion Mumbai Indians but in next match Pat Cummins proved his worth and took 1 wickets and just gave 19 runs in his 4 overs quota which futher helped KKR team to restrict SRH in 142 runs. Though KKR has won last match but still struggling this season. Russell is not playing according to his name and rest batsmen except Shubhman Gill are struggling too. in first game against MI KKR was neither good with ball nor good with bat. In Second game against SRH chasing 142 runs was not so difficult but KKR lost quick wickets in initial overs later partnership between Morgan and Gill helped KKR to win first game of this IPL. 

Today KKR fans will be hoping for a joint performance from their players in both department and KKR may come with a better plan in today's game. In this match KKR's first priority should be getting the wicket of Sanju Samson as he is playing fearlessly and scoring huge runs for his team, if KKR gets the Wicket of Sanju in initian overs then there would be great chance of winning this match.

Most Probable Playing XI

Rajasthan Royals : 

Jos Buttler (wk), Steven Smith (c), Sanju Samson, Rahul Tewatia, Robin Uthappa, Jofra Archer, Riyan Parag, Tom Curran, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Jaydev Unadkat

IPL team analysis - Mumbai Indians

SWOT analysis of Defending Champion Mumbai Indians

 

 

Defending Champion Mumbai Indians is one of the best team in IPL which has won the titles highest 4 times (2013,2015,2017 & 2019). Last year Mumbai Indians defeated another IPL best team CSK and won the title. In IPL MI has defeated CSK 3 times in final and one time RPS. MI is well balanced IPL team and has all the best combination which is required for a team to play in a ground. From operners to middle order and from lower middle orders to tailenders, everyone is clear about his role and play accordingly. 

Last year before auction MI has retained some players and also releases some of players from team. MI has also trade some of the players with others team and bought few players during IPL auction which was held in Dec 2019.

 

Retained Players : Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, Jayant Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Lasith Malinga(Not play this season), Mitchell McClenaghan,Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav.

 

Trade In Players :   Dhawal Kulkarni, Sherfane Rutherford, Trent Boult

Bought During Auction : Chris Lynn, Digvijay Deshmukh (uncapped), Mohsin Khan (uncapped), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Prince Balwant Rai Singh (uncapped), Saurabh Tiwary.

Strength : Balance playing 11 is always been the strength of Mumbai Indians. Including Chris Lynn in Top order will help Mumbai Indians in setting huge targets and chasing target. Including Trent Boult will defenately release some pressure from Bumrah and also Malinga has pulled his name from IPl these season so Boult can replace him in death overs. In Middle overs or in slog overs Pandya & Pollard will be key players when MI needs some fire strokes.

Weakness : Lack of proper spinners in squard will be a big problem for MI as this time IPL is going to play in UAE where pitches will be slow and as the tournament progresses pitches will be spin friendly so team may face some problem even though Rahul, Jayant and Krunal is there. One big blow for MI is Malina will not be available this season so in death overs who will be Bumrah's partner though Boult is there but in reality no one can actually take the place of Malinga when it comes to death bowling, perfect yorkers and experience.

Opportunities : This season IPL is in UAE and will be played only in three venues i.e. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah so every team will be having equal cricketing venue, no extra advantages like Indian conditions of having seperate home grounds. Mumbai Indians can take this as an opportunities and take the advantages of it as being one of the best balanced team.

Treats : For MI condition will be the biggest treat though team is balanced but UAE condition doesnot suits MI. Last time when MI played here in 2014, lost all 5 matches so this  time team should understand the condition and also make combination accordingly.

Mumbai Indians is all set for the first match against chennai which is going to be the opening match of IPL which is on 19th September, 2020.

Most Probable Playing 11 for initial matches :

Rohit Sharma(C), Quinton de Kock(WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Inshan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Polard, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult/Mitchell McClenaghan

Best bowler of Power Play joins CSK

 Deepal Chahar joins CSK after Corona, Malan Not to Replace Raina

CSK medium pacer Deepak Chahar who was tested covid positive on 4th Sept has recently joined CSK after getting recovered. He has been tested negative and has completed all formalities set by BCCI and is ready to play in the IPL openning match against defending champion MI. Deepak has started his net practice and this will be a great advantage for CSk and for their fans. Deepak Chahar has played 34 IPL matches since 2017 and taken 33 wickets so far. Last year playing for CSK he played 17 matches and took 22 wickets at an avg of 21.90 and economy of 7.47. If he plays this season in initial matches then he will play a key role for CSK in powerplay.

 

CSK management has also cleared all speculations related to Devid Malan replacing Suresh Raina. They said its a rumour and till now team management has not ye decided who is going to replace Raina this season. 

 

Suresh Raina is an Indian Player and in IPL only 4 overseas players are allowed to play in a team which means if CSK replaces Malan in Place of Raina then it will not be a good option and they will suffer. Csk will definately look for Indian players as a replacement of Suresh Raina so that they can adjust their batting lineup and play with full strength. This season CSK will going to miss Raina as he is one of the finest IPL batsman and also the 2nd Highest run scorer after Virat.
