Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to face each other in match number 69 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, May 24.
This is a match between two teams that came into the tournament with high expectations, but things did not go exactly according to plan. Mumbai Indians have struggled at the bottom of the table and have won only four out of the 13 matches played. Meanwhile, Rajasthan find themselves in a precarious position with six losses in as many matches they have played.
The team that loses on Sunday will officially see their campaign end in disappointment at the bottom end of the table. However, the winning team, especially Rajasthan, will book their playoff spot.
Here are the top player battles to watch in Match 69:
3. Rohit Sharma vs Sandeep Sharma
The former MI captain will play his last match of the season at Wankhede. This season has been a mixed one for him, with injuries playing a key role. The right-handed batsman has scored 283 runs in eight innings.
He will face his long-time rival in the IPL. Sandeep Sharma. The medium pacer has troubled the experienced Indian batsman the most, dismissing him a record six times in just 13 innings. There is some kind of support for the fast bowler early on at Wankhede, which Sandeep would like to take advantage of.
