Pitch Report
Analysis
The Rajasthan Royals have certainly been the most consistent team in IPL 2024 with a record of six wins and one loss. The RR batting has seen massive improvements with Jos Buttler’s return to form alongside Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag’s continued brilliance. On the bowling front, Yuzvendra Chahal has been towards the top of the purple cap list alongside quality performances from Trent Boult and Avesh Khan.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have had a turbulent season, marred by the captaincy saga and the subdued performances from a few key players. The Mumbai batters have performed well with Rohit Sharma leading the charge alongside quality performances from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma. But on the bowling front, barring Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee, no bowler has stepped up to perform, leading to a few defeats.
