Rajasthan Royals will face Mumbai Indians in the 50th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. This is a must-win encounter for the Royals. They cannot afford to lose as it will end their hopes of making it to the playoffs completely.
Their skipper Sanju Samson is already injured and is unlikely to feature in this clash too. Riyan Parag will lead in his absence as the Royals will be keen on continuing their winning run, after beating Gujarat Titans in their previous game.
As for Mumbai Indians, they are on a five-match winning streak at the moment and seem to be unstoppable. However, the five-time champions haven’t won in Jaipur since 2012 and have lost four matches on the trot. They will have to defy history to make it six wins in a row.
Another motivation MI will have to end the losing streak in Jaipur is that they have a chance to climb to the top of the points table if they win this clash. A lot is at stake in this game for both teams.
On that note, let us have a look at three key players to watch out for in RR vs MI, IPL 2025 Match 50:
3 Players to Watch Out for in CSK vs PBKS – Match 49
1. Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the toast of the nation ever since he smashed the fastest hundred by an Indian in IPL history in the previous game against Gujarat Titans. He smashed a ton in just 35 balls leaving everyone stunned with his temperament and power hitting.
However, the 14-year-old will be facing quality bowling against MI with the likes of Trent Boult, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah coming hard at him. The youngster has shown that he doesn’t lack confidence and has it in him make it big at the highest level.
2. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has been the go to man for Mumbai Indians whenever they are in trouble. He has been batting at number three and four this season and has performed exceptionally well so far. Surya has crossed 25 or more in 10 consecutive innings and is in the race to become the leading run-scorer too.
The India T20I skipper has so far scored 427 runs in 10 matches at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 169.44 with three fifties to his name. In order to register their sixth win on the trot, MI will need Surya to go all guns blazing in this encounter as well.
3. Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma’s struggles have been evident in IPL 2025. He has struggled to land his yorkers especially at the death and has conceded more than 20 runs in the final over of the innings multiple times as well.
However, he enjoys bowling against Mumbai Indians, having dismissed Rohit Sharma and Surya five and four times respectively so far. Moreover, Sandeep also picked up a five-wicket haul, the last time these two teams met in Jaipur. All eyes will be on the veteran pacer to deliver against the five-time champions.
