Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Preview
Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians had an up-and-down season, but they did beat some good teams along their journey. They will not be intimidated by some of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s big names.
Tilak Varma and Kartikeya Singh were both left out of Mumbai Indians XI in their loss to Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. Varma had a minor niggle, and we believe he will not be able to recover in time for this match on Tuesday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB has lost form at an inopportune time of year. However, they still have players in excellent individual form, and they will be optimistic about their chances in this encounter.
The Royal Challengers XI has changed only once ahead of Saturday’s loss to the Delhi Capitals, with batting all-rounder Kedar Jadhav stepping in. Although Jadhav did not bat or bowl in that match, we expect him to be in the lineup for this one.
Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Playing Squads
Faf du Plessis (c), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kedar Jadhav, Karn Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, and Mohammed Siraj.

The Rajasthan Royals won the toss, opted to bat, and were defeated in Mumbai over the weekend. In this match, we anticipate that both captains will choose to field first.

The surface is fast, and we witnessed over 400 runs in the last game at Wankhede Stadium. On this surface, we anticipate considerable carry-through to the wicketkeeper.
