Rajasthan Royals (RR) had a great outing with the bat in hand after electing to bat first against Mumbai Indians (MI). RR posted a gigantic score of 212-7. MI skipper Rohit Sharma was quite dejected as the bowlers conceded 69 runs in the last 5 overs and took 3 wickets. Rohit Sharma perhaps made a mistake by keeping only one over of Jofra Archer during the death overs as Arshad Khan gave away 31 runs in the last 2 overs but also took 2 scalps

Sanju Samson would be aware of the fact that MI don’t have a powerful lower middle order as a couple of wickets can put them in the ascendancy. The role of Jason Holder would be quite decisive in this clash as he can fox the batters with his foxy variations.
