Mumbai Indians They will look to get back to winning ways when they take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 13 of the 2026 Indian Premier League. By defeating Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, they broke a 14-year streak of not winning their first match.
After this they had to face defeat against the strong team of Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Now they head to the Barasapara Stadium in Guwahati to take on an in-form Royals team, which has won its first two matches.
Here is the best possible playing XI for MI vs RR:
Top order: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tilak Verma

Rohit Sharma Got a new lease of life. His brilliant inning of 78 runs in just 38 balls against Knight Riders was a unique performance from the former India captain. He scored 35 against Delhi Capitals and is expected to continue setting the tone for MI. Ryan Rickelton started his IPL 2026 campaign with a brilliant 81 runs, and shared a massive 147-run partnership with Rohit against the Knight Riders.
Tilak Verma has recently found success for the Indian team as a pace-hitter coming in at No. 5. Earlier playing at number 3, his numbers had started to decline. He is back to one-drop for MI but has not been able to make any significant impact with scores of 20 and 0. Despite this, they are expected to continue.
