Mumbai Indians are set to take on a confident Rajasthan Royals in what promises to be an exciting IPL 2026 clash in Guwahati on Tuesday. Mumbai Indians are currently sixth on the points table, while Rajasthan Royals sit second.
Rajasthan Royals have begun their campaign on a strong note, winning both their opening matches. They started with a commanding victory over Chennai Super Kings and followed it up with a narrow six-run win against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.
Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, head into the contest on the back of a loss to Delhi Capitals.
The five-time champions have had a mixed start to the season, registering a win over Kolkata Knight Riders but struggling to find consistency.
Placed sixth in the standings, MI will be keen to bounce back, with skipper Hardik Pandya likely to return to the playing XI.
Just ahead of the clash, MI star batter Rohit Sharma was seen shouting at someone before boarding the team bus.
"DJ, get in, man", Rohit was heard shouting.
It remains unclear whether Rohit was addressing someone for being late or for any other reason.
Mumbai Indians are five-time IPL champions, having lifted the title in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020 â all under Rohitâs captaincy.
