IPL 2025, RR vs MI: All you need to know, head to head, probable XII

Riding a wave of confidence, Mumbai Indians are set to take on Rajasthan Royals on Thursday at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Mumbai Indians are entering this clash with remarkable momentum, having secured five consecutive victories. Their recent form has been bolstered by standout performances from both their batting and bowling units. Having started their campaign on a challenging note, MI have found their rhythm back, registering comprehensive victories one after another.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals also got back to the winning ways after suffering five defeats on the bounce. They were able to break their five-match losing streak on the back of young Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s belligerent knock. Suryavanshi delivered a match-winning performance against Gujarat Titans in RR’s last game, churning out a staggering innings of 101 that powered RR to a crucial win. And their last win has also kept RR alive in the tournament. This, however, is a must-win clash for RR to keep their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, Mumbai would hope to carry on with their momentum.
