IPL Match 23 MI will Play RR

rahul Dravid is Now in Good Form, The sixth edition of the Indian Premier League will see glorified battles on the field on Wednesday night when Mumbai Indians take on Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh tadium in Jaipur. It will be the battles within the game which may put the audience in awe, with Rahul Dravid taking on Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Watson taking on Ricky Ponting and yes, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth taking on Harbhajan Singh. It would be interesting to see the young and inexperienced bowling attack of RR bowl to the legendary openers, followed by an exciting Mumbai middle-order.

RR have been bolstered by the return of Shane Watson to form, as he took the team to a blazing start against Punjab, with a spectacular 32 off just 19 balls. Ajinkya Rahane, opening alongside Watto, could switch gears and adapt to any situation. Rahul ‘The Wall’ Dravid follows them at his favourite No.3 position, and should he stay till the end, battling the likes of Lasith Malinga and Mitchell Johnson, the other batters could play their best game around him. Adding to the firepower is Brad Hodge, the T20 veteran, whose presence has so far been under-rated in the RR side.


with excellent performances with the ball, especially in the death overs. Sreesanth is yet to prove his consistency, but in Jaipur, he will definitely be a huge threat. Should Shaun Tait recover from his injury, it could be a tough call to leave one of Cooper and Faulkner out of the side.
