MI vs RCB: Match Overview

Mumbai Indians

With the addition of young players like Cameron Green, Tim David, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, and Tim David this season, the formidable Mumbai are undergoing a transition. Therefore, some kind of blip was anticipated, but their situation was made worse by the collective failure of the top players last season.

Although Jasprit Bumrah is expected to miss the entirety of the IPL 2023 due to a back injury, Rohit, who has an enviable record, will continue to captain MI and hope to return to top form. Jhye Richardson is additionally out.

Their pace bowling setup will be strengthened by Jofra Archer, but do they have an Indian fast bowler who can work with the English cricketer? Probably not, and as a result, the Australian left-hander Jason Behrendorff will be brought in, forcing MI to bench the hard-throwing Brevis and Stubbs.

MI coach Mark Boucher will hope for a lot more from his core players this season, in addition to hoping for a great debut from all-rounder Green, the second most costliest player in IPL history, to help the team solve the fast bowling conundrum. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav were decent last season.

The return of the home-and-away format and the conveniences of the Wankhede Stadium are two additional things that can assist Mumbai. MI took home the trophy the previous time the league was played in its usual format.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore has been one of the most formidable teams in the Indian Premier League for the majority of its history. They are led by one of the best batsmen of our time, Virat Kohli. The team has an outstanding record in the IPL, but it has never been able to take home the trophy.

RCB has finished in the top three six times, including the last two seasons, and finished runners-up in 2009, 2011, and 2016, but they have never won the IPL.

In the IPL 2023 auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore acquired seven players—five of whom have never played professional cricket—while almost keeping their core players (18 of them). Faf Du Plessis, an explosive batsman from South Africa, leads the team.

The batting line-up highlights Kohli, the most noteworthy run-getter of IPL with 6,624 runs in 223 matches, Australian Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, and Dinesh Karthik will solidify the batting line-up.

The team's bowling lineup will be strengthened by in-form Mohammed Siraj, Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who will take the most wickets for the team in IPL 2022, and Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood.
