MI vs RR, DY Patil Stadium. Can Rohit Sharma give Mumbai Indians a winning moment on his birthday? We can't say about the MI winning this game but the Hitman plays differently on his birthdays!

Rohit Sharma's IPL scores on his birthdays: 85*, 27, 22, 76*

MI may make a few changes for tonight's game against RR. It is very possible that MI loses this game too. Despite that, Rohit Sharma will be performing his best inning of the IPL 2022. His matchups against Krishna and Boult are crucial for him and MI. If he managed to avoid throwing his wicket in the powerplay, MI has a good chance of winning.

Buttler becomes unstoppable against MI. Tonight will be no different if he plays Bumrah soft-handedly. Hetmyer becomes a crucial batter in case the top order crumbles.
