Mumbai: This is the Rivalry Week happening in the ongoing IPL and all the matches are mouthwatering. Mumbai Indians, who have not had the best start to the 2024 season, won their last game against the Delhi Capitals to open their account. On Thursday, the MI side lock horns with familiar foes in Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Wankhede. On the eve of the match, former MI captain Rohit Sharma was spotted with owner Akash Ambani outside the Wankhede stadium. Akash was driving the car and Rohit was next to him. Akash’s humble gesture is winning internet:

MI take on RCB today and it promises to be a cracker. RCB have dominated their Mumbai rivals since 2020, having won five of the seven contests. At the Wankhede, MI lead RCB 7-3. Rohit would be a key player for MI at the top of the order. If he can get them off to a flyer, it will augur well for the side. The contest between Mohammed Siraj and Rohit would be the one to watch out for. Siraj has never dismissed Rohit.

MI vs RCB Predicted XI:

Mumbai Indians predicted XI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd, Piyush Chawla, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru predicted XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat (wk), Mayank Dagar, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal.
