Mumbai Indians' mega-stars will be making one last-ditch effort to put their derailed Indian Premier League 2021 campaign back on track when they take on a confident Rajasthan Royals in their penultimate league match on Tuesday in Dubai.
The five-time champions were aiming for a hat-trick, which would be a first in the tournament's 14-year-history, but poor show by their batsmen has led the team down. The wrinkles on Rohit Sharma's forehead and the grumpy look on his face are telling a tale that is unheard of in the MI realms till now.
As both sides meet in Sharjah, let's take a look at the RR vs MI squad updates and head to head stats:
