This battle is a must match battle between two of the best test players of the Indian cricket team. They both have done well against many international teams but it's time for a face off in the IPL.
Rohit has scored just 3 runs in 5 balls. He has been dismissed 2 times. Archer has bowled 2 dot balls. No fours or sixes. His strike rate is 60.0 and average is only 1.5. This is a shocking battle between these two players. Despite the recent form of Rohit Sharma, Jofra Archer will have less pressure than Rohit Sharma during this battle.

This battle will be in action in the middle overs of Mumbai Indians batting innings and you can’t miss this battle.
Yashasvi is in amazing form with five fifties this season. He made 70 not out in the last game and hit 74 and 75 in earlier matches. He is giving Rajasthan great starts every time. He plays fast and fearless cricket. He is a top choice for your Dream11 team.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a 14-year-old boy, who is now in the limelight with his blazing 101 runs off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans in the last match. He will be an important player for Rajasthan Royals going forward not only this season but in the upcoming seasons as well. He is in top form this season.
Surya is Mumbai’s best batter this season with 427 runs. He scored 54, 40*, and 68* in his last three games. He plays with style and hits all over the ground. He is very dependable and scores at a fast rate. He is a must-pick player. Suryakumar Yadav has not been dismissed under 20 in his last 10 innings which is an insane number for anybody playing at this level.
Bumrah is back to his best and took 4 wickets for 22 runs in the last match. He has taken 9 wickets in just 6 matches. He is very hard to hit and always gets key wickets. He is the main bowler for Mumbai and very reliable in fantasy.
Riyan has played well this season, scoring over 30 in many matches. He stays calm under pressure and hits big shots when needed. He also bowls sometimes and can take wickets. He is improving in every match and is very useful for fantasy teams.
Ryan is doing a good job at the top for Mumbai. He scored 58 in the last game and has been getting steady runs. He also keeps wickets, which adds more points. He is a smart player and good for Dream11.
Yudhvir Singh Charak bowled well in the last match but there was no help in Jaipur for him from the pitch. He is a good bowler but Mumbai Indians top order is very solid and he’ll have less chances to do well against them.
Naman Dhir is an excellent batter but his batting order is too low to be considered in you small league teams. Mumbai Indians top order is very split and each batter has a good record against Rajasthan Royals which makes it hard for Naman Dhir to get to bat in this match. You can avoid him in your small league team.
