IPL 2026 Today's Match: RR vs MI playing 11, batters vs bowlers match-ups

Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to get back at the top of the points table with a win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians in Guwahati

Rajasthan Royals (RR) are taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 13 of IPL 2026 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati today, with hopes of extending their winning streak in the tournament. On the other hand, MI will look to bounce back in form after losing their previous game to DC. The match has been reduced to an 11-over-a-side contest due to delay in start due to rain.  MI skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and invited Riyan Parag-led RR to bat first.

IPL 2026 RR vs MI playing 11:  RR playing 11: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma  Impact players: Ravi Bishnoi, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Brijesh Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Shubham Dubey  MI playing 11: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (capt), Suryakumar Yadav, Naman Dhir, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, AM Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah  Impact players: Ashwani Kumar, Sherfane Rutherford, Corbin Bosch, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa 

 

RR, who made some big changes in their team combination following a ninth-position finish in IPL 2025, have looked like one of the most complete sides in the tournament. They have their batters and bowlers stepping up when needed, keeping the opposition under pressure. The form of skipper Riyan Parag with the bat will be a concern for them, but they have plenty of support around him to keep their unbeaten run going. 

 

 

On the other hand, MI, despite their recent loss to Delhi, have been playing good cricket and are also one of the most well-settled sides in the tournament. They missed the services of their skipper Hardik Pandya in the last game, but will hope that the team will once again get back in form if he comes back in the playing 11 for the RR match.

 

But before the two sides finally take the ground, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.
