IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s RR vs MI Match

Rajasthan Royals will face Mumbai Indians in Match 38 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on 22nd April at the Sawai Man Singh Indoor Stadium in Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Royals are the table toppers and their team has played supremely well, dominating cricket in all three departments. Rajasthan Royals have defeated teams at their home, making it a fortress, as well as have been able to get the better of the opposition teams at their respective home games.

Sanju Samson has emerged as a tenacious and proactive captain this season, improving on the things he was criticized for in previous seasons. Sanju Samson, the batsman, has helped Sanju the captain brilliantly by scoring consistently. Jos Buttler‘s form resulted in RR winning the last game miraculously. Rajasthan Royals are the team to beat this season, having won 6 games and lost just one.

Talking about Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya is having a totally contrasting season. His ability to hit sixes and score at a great strike rate has been lost, and there are constant questions and doubts over his form.

Mumbai’s strength lies in their top 3 – Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rohit Sharma respectively. Along with the top 3, Jasprit Bumrah, who is the purple cap holder currently, has been in tremendous form showcasing his wit and supreme control.

Mumbai Indians are currently ranked 6th with three wins and four losses.

Here are the top three records that could be broken in the match:

1. Chahal Eyes 200 IPL Wickets Record

India’s spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal would be eyeing the WC spot. His consistent performance has been a talking point. Chahal is just a wicket away from taking 200 wickets in IPL. He will be the first one to take 200 IPL wickets.

2. Hardik All Set to Reach 2500 IPL Runs

Hardik Pandya is all set to reach 2500 runs. The Mumbai Indians skipper is currently out of form and questions over his place in WT20 are constantly being asked. Hardik Pandya (2450) needs another fifty runs to reach 2500 runs in IPL.

3. Tilak to Breach 1000 IPL Runs

Tilak Varma has been the most consistent player for MI in recent years. His trustworthy innings have made him emerge as a pillar in MI’s lineup. Tilak Varma (948) needs 52 runs to reach 1000 runs in IPL.

This will be an interesting clash as MI, who are expected to be a dominant side in the second half of the tournament, will be facing the best team of the tournament, and thus fireworks are expected.
