IPL 2025 Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) Best Playing 11 and Match 50 Prediction
Rajasthan Royals run into the high-flying Mumbai Indians team in our RR vs MI match 50 best playing 11 for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
It’s the golden match number 50 in the TATA IPL 2025 as we have the back-in-form Rajasthan Royals taking on the high-flying Mumbai Indians in their den. While RR are currently in 8th position with 6 points, MI are currently 2nd with 12 points. Even though both teams are currently on opposite ends of the points table, the match will be a competitive affair as both teams are in blistering form.
The Rajasthan Royals team is coming off a memorable win in the last encounter against table-toppers Gujarat Titans. Gujarat Titans did score over 200 runs against Rajasthan Royals, but the 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fastest century by an Indian made that chase a cakewalk. The RR team chased the target in just 16 overs, and got back to form. However, there are still obvious issues in the bowling department for the RR team that needs to be addressed.
The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, are flying high with 5 wins in a row. After starting slowly as they usually do, the MI team is back on track, and is looking invincible at the moment. Almost all their batters are in form, and such is the situation in the team that players like Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya are hardly getting an opportunity to bat. Having said that, MI are currently facing trouble in their bowling department, which needs some correction.
Key Match Details
Tournament: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025
Match Details: Match 50 – RR vs MI
Where: Jaipur
When: May 1, 2025, 7:30 pm IST
Considering the current scenario of both teams, a win for MI should take them one step closer to the playoffs. Given that PBKS is currently on odd points, 14 may not be enough this time for the qualification. So, 16 should be a decent number. Meanwhile, for the RR team, all they can do is play their best cricket, and hope for things to go their way for the final qualification. 14 points is the maximum RR will reach, and that may just not be enough as shared the PBKS reason above.

Best Impact Player: Shubham Dubey
The Rajasthan Royals team made a good change in their last match as they dropped Tushar Deshpande for Yudhvir Charak, and Fazalhaq for Maheesh Theekshana. While Theekshana returned with a good performance, Yudhvir had a bad match. The team may persist with Theekshana for sure, but may want to try Akash Madhwal in place for Yudhvir Charak. That is the only change we can expect in the RR team.

Best Impact Player: Vignesh Puthur
Talking about Mumbai Indians’ playing 11, the team will persist with Corbin Bosch for now given his impressive outing in his debut match. However, in place of Karn Sharma, MI may bring in Vignesh Puthur as the impact player. Karn suffered an injury in his last match, so resting him will be an ideal decision.
