Rajasthan Royals (RR) will aim to continue their winning momentum against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. With four matches to play for this season, the Royals would know that a loss here would mean that they are out of the playoff race in IPL 2025. Riyan Parag will continue to lead the Rajasthan Royals in absence of regular captain Sanju Samson, who is still recovering from an injury. Mumbai Indians will be captained by Hardik Pandya, who are coming into this match on the back of a five-match winning streak.
Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, Toss: RR's Riyan Parag has won the toss and elected to bowl.
Parag reckons that the dew at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, might work in their favour and highlighted the dew factor to bowl first. Hardik Pandya also admitted that he would have bowled first as well, but doesn't mind batting first.
"We'll bowl first. We might see some dew later. Usually, the wicket settles down a little later at night. Want to exploit that. We've kept it very simple regardless of winning or losing. Rahul sir has made it clear, we keep it simple, whether we go high or low. Three games ago, the message was we take it one game at a time. If we play to our potential, we know how good we can be. Just want to give everyone the freedom to play their game. Couple of changes, Hasaranga has a niggle, Kumar Kartiykeya comes in, Sandy bhai has broken his finger so Madhwal comes in," said Parag at the toss.
"We would've bowled first as well. It has always been about how we can play good cricket. The conversation was always about how we can get better, we've spoken about the same and nothing changes. We want to be fearless and not let fear of failure kick in. Don't decide how much we need to put on, have a set marker but we need to analyse the wicket. Quite confident about batting on this wicket. There hasn't been much dew around. We go with the same team.," Pandya at the toss.
