MI wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton has taken some time to get his rhythm this season but has played a few solid knocks with the bat at the top of the order. He has scored 273 runs from 10 innings at an average of 30.33 and a strike-rate of 152.51 with two half-centuries.

In their last match against LSG, Rickelton played a key role opening the batting, setting the foundation for a big total. The left-hander made 58 runs off just 32 balls, hitting six boundaries and four sixes at a strike-rate of 181.25.

With MI looking to continue their dominant run and extend their winning streak, they will want Rickelton to replicate his form from the last game against RR as well and give them a strong start up the order.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the most consistent batter for RR this season so far. He has scored 426 runs from 10 innings at an average of 47.33 and a strike-rate of 152.68. Jaiswal has also scored five half-centuries this year.

While Vaibhav Suryavanshi stole the show in their previous game against GT, Jaiswal played an equally vital knock, going about his business as usual. The left-hander slammed an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls, hitting nine boundaries and two sixes at a strike-rate of 175.

Rajasthan will want to build on the momentum from their previous victory and string in a few more wins. For them to do so, Jaiswal carrying his form will be critical.

With 427 runs from 10 innings at an average of 61 and a strike-rate of 169.44, star MI batter Suryakumar Yadav is the third-highest run-getter this season and the top run-scorer for his side this season.

He has scored three half-centuries, including in their previous match against LSG. Suryakumar Yadav raced his way to a 28-ball 54, smashing four boundaries and as many sixes at a strike-rate of 192.86.

The right-hander has been a vital cog in their middle order and has delivered more often than not. As they eye their sixth consecutive win of the season, Suryakumuar Yadav will be eager to perform the way he has throughout with the bat.
