Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians will play the 44th match of IPL 2022 on Saturday. The Royals are placed in the second place in the points table with 6 wins in 8 matches and 12 points across their name. They defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in the previous match by 29 runs after scoring just 144 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Royals would be looking to continue their winning momentum in the tournament.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have not looked like the team that they were until the last edition of the IPL. They are still searching for their first win and are out of the race to the playoffs. Against an in-form RR, it will be really difficult for MI to get the desired result.
Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the RR vs MI game:
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan started his campaign with two back-to-back half-centuries in the tournament and has not looked the same since then. Apart from these two half-centuries, Ishan has not been able to score over 30 runs in this edition of the league. In 3 out of the last 4 matches, Ishan has been dismissed for a single-digit score. Considering his form, you can avoid him in your fantasy team and pick other wicketkeepers.
2. Devdutt Padikkal
Devdutt Padikkal is another player who has not been able to replicate his form from the last edition to this. In 8 matches, Padikkal has been able to score over 30 runs only thrice. In the last game against MI, he was dismissed for just 7 runs. You can avoid him in your fantasy team and pick some other in-form batter.
3. Daryl Mitchell
Daryl Mitchell made his IPL debut in the last game against RCB. He could make only 16 runs off 24 deliveries and failed to hit a boundary. It would be interesting to see if RR gives another opportunity to Mitchell or bring some other player into the playing 11. There are several in-from batters in both the teams who are batting in the middle-order and hence, you can avoid Mitchell in this match.
