MUMBAI: In the previous match, MS Dhoni, in the best form, returned to form and won his team Rising Pune SuperJuy by winning the last ball. With this victory, the RTC team has increased the point table in comparison to other teams. She is now 6th in 6 matches with 6 points.
Today, it is going to be a table topper from the Mumbai Indians. Clearly, Steven Smith’s team, winning the match, would like to increase their stature in the points table. MS Dhoni did not come to practice on the first Sunday of the match in Wankhede and he enjoyed the break. But other team members Faf du Plessis, Ben Stokes, Rahul Tripathi, Adam Jampa, Ashok Dinda, and Mayank Agarwal have done a lot of practice.
Rising Pune SuperJoint
Pune team is not bloating after returning to MS Dhoni’s form. But there are still some problems which they need to pay attention to. Ben Stokes, who was bought by RPS for Rs 14.5 crore this season, are not able to score runs or get wickets. Their names so far have been the same fifties and they have not been able to translate a good start to a big score on many occasions. However, in the Nets he used to practice a lot of batting on the eve of the match. It is obvious that he too is eager to return to his form just like Dhoni.
Mayank Agarwal, who has played three matches this season so far He has also been successful so far and has consistently scored small scores like 6, 0, and 20. He would also like to make runs in his team to keep the place safe. Faf du Plessis, who had not been able to join the training session before the match played against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and later they could not even get a place in the team. Been practicing on the evening of the match against Mumbai Indians. But he rarely had a place in the team this time because Daniel Christian is all set to play in the all-rounder team. Pune have won the last match, so they are very proud.
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are consistently winning six matches. Therefore, they are touching their deepest sky. Please note that in the first match of this season, Mumbai Indians suffered defeat at the hands of the Rising Pune Superjain and since then they have not been defeated by anybody. During this time, he did not win on home ground only, but was successful in defeating the teams at his own home. All their players are in their best form. If the bowling does not go, then the batting goes on. But if the batting is not there then the bowler will show the amazing.
