MI vs RR Live: Now or never for Rajasthan with final playoff spot on the line

All eyes will be on the face-off between young RR opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah. He smacked Bumrah for a six off the very first ball, when both sides met earlier this season in Guwahati. Speaking ahead of the match, RR assistant coach Trevor Penney said, "He's very confident. He's just so excited every day to go and play and practise.

So, to be honest, we don't really have to talk to him too much. He's just in his little bubble. He practises hard and then, when he goes out to play, he just enjoys himself. So, it's pretty rare. I've been in cricket for 40 years and I haven't seen that before. Long may that last. And yeah, I certainly hope it works tomorrow."

If RR lose, the fight for the final playoff berth will go down to the wire as KKR also face DC in the final league game on Sunday. A defeat for RR will mean that PBKS will qualify for the playoffs, unless KKR defeats DC by a huge margin and improves their NRR. "So, it's just this one game tomorrow. Mumbai, obviously, is a World XI.
