In current form, it is clearly Mumbai Indians who have the upper hand. However, Rajasthan might have found their mojo after bottling three easy chases and then finally nailing a tough one. It is hard to pick between the two, but given that it is RR’s home ground, we can go with them.
While looking at the batters from both teams, one cannot ignore Vaibhav Suryavanshi and thus, he would be the best batter. He has a century in his bag now to make him more confident, but will have to deal with Bumrah and Boult.
With a four-wicket haul in his last game, Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowling option for the game.
The Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur has hosted three games so far in the IPL 2025, and with each passing game, it has only become better for the batting team, especially the chasing side, as they have won on two out of three occasions, and it would have been three in three if not for Rajasthan to bottle the chase against Lucknow Super Giants. Thus, it is a win the toss, field the first kind of wicket.
