IPL 2024’s 38th match is bound to be intense. On April 22nd, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will compete fervently at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Currently ranking highest in points, RR aims for victory.
With a mighty winning streak, Rajasthan have conquered the opponents. They dominated, winning six of seven clashes. Their batting might soared, powered by Jos Buttler’s fiery form. He already smashed two blistering tons.
Mumbai, on the other side, has had a more erratic record, with only three victories in seven games. However, their most recent triumph over the Punjab Kings revealed hints of their promise, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the innings with an outstanding 78.
Every IPL game provides an opportunity for both teams to accomplish a certain milestone. As a result, numerous records are about to be broken ahead of this game as well.
On that point, let’s look at the top three landmarks that might be reached during today’s RR vs. MI game.
1. Jos Buttler could become the first overseas player to hit 3000 runs for RR
Jos Buttler will be looking to reach a unique achievement tonight against Mumbai Indians. The powerful opening batsman needs a mere 54 runs to become the initial foreign cricketer to accumulate 3,000 runs for Rajasthan Royals.
Buttler joined Rajasthan in 2018. He’s scored 2,946 runs at 43.3 average. His strike rate is superb, 148.7. This shows his top-order consistency and power-hitting. Tonight, a quick knock may cement his Royals legend status.
2. Rohit Sharma could surpass Aaron Finch’s tally
Rohit Sharma is on fire in IPL 2024. At a strike rate of 164.09, he has scored almost 300 runs. He seems unstoppable this season.
A pure destroyer at the top, Rohit’s T20 records are huge. With 11,453 runs, he ranks eighth in highest T20 runs. In Jaipur, overtaking Aaron Finch’s 11,458 runs could make him seventh on the list. He needs just six more runs.
3 Yuzvendra Chahal could become the first player to take 200 wickets in IPL history
IPL’s star bowler Yuzvendra Chahal will make history if he takes one wicket. RR will play MI soon, and this is a huge chance for Chahal. He only needs one wicket to reach an awesome milestone of 200 IPL wickets. Chahal would then become IPL’s first ever bowler with 200 wickets.
Chahal is famous for surprising leg-spin and tricky googlies. He has played IPL cricket for over ten years. Taking lots of wickets is his special skill. Chahal makes a big impact by dismissing batters regularly.
Yuzvendra Chahal is now the tournament’s best wicket-taker, with 199 scalps from 152 matches, averaging one wicket every 16.72 balls. This forthcoming encounter provides an excellent opportunity for Chahal to accomplish this historic achievement.
