RR vs MI Player Bets – Top Batsman, Bowler & Value Picks

Updated At: 2026-04-07

Welcome to our RR vs MI player bets guide for Match 13 of IPL 2026 on April 7 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. For a full match preview, check our RR vs MI match prediction.

Rajasthan Royals come into this match on the back of two convincing wins — a dominant performance against Chennai Super Kings and a gritty defence against Gujarat Titans. Mumbai Indians, despite their star-studded lineup, have been inconsistent. They chased down 221 against Kolkata but then struggled to defend 162 against Delhi Capitals.

The absence of Hardik Pandya has exposed their fragility, and though he is expected to return, his participation remains uncertain after he missed Monday's practice. Their away record since 2023 is also a concern, with only 9 wins from 24 games on the road.

Guwahati's pitch offers some early movement for pacers but tends to favour batters once they settle in. Thunderstorms could play a part, making teams prefer fielding first. Key battles to watch are Sandeep Sharma against Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah against Shimron Hetmyer. The Royals hold the momentum, but Mumbai always carry a threat.

RR vs MI Top Batsman Prediction — Who to Back for Most Runs?

Two top-heavy batting units collide on what is going to be a tricky Guwahati track, which has been really difficult for visiting teams to get to grips with, while the home side Rajasthan Royals have fared well with the bat in their last two outings at this venue.

With a bit of rain around, it is not going to be an easy outing for the batters early on, as the ball will stop and hold, favouring the bowlers more than at most other venues in this tournament.

For the Royals, their top order have done the heavy lifting in the last two matches, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scoring 52 runs against CSK and Dhruv Jurel stepping up in the last match with an unbeaten 72. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the most consistent performer, scoring 38 not out against CSK and backing that up with 55 runs against the Gujarat Titans.

For Mumbai Indians, they had an average outing with the bat in the last match against Delhi Capitals, unable to get going at the start of the innings before exploding in the final overs. Suryakumar Yadav carried his good run of form, scoring 51 runs. He has a phenomenal record against the Rajasthan Royals, smashing 512 runs in 15 matches at an average of 42.66 with 4 fifties.

Rohit Sharma is also in fine touch this season, scoring over 30 runs in both matches, but he will be tested by the Royals' new-ball pair of Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger. With Mumbai's middle order yet to be properly tested, we are backing the top three from both sides to be the key run-scorers in this fixture.

RR vs MI Top Bowler Prediction — Who Will Take the Most Wickets?

The last match played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium was dominated by fast bowlers, who claimed 8 of the 12 wickets that fell, while spinners managed 4. Overall across the six completed matches at this venue, spinners have picked up 28 wickets, while fast bowlers have taken 38 in total. Backing a fast bowler to be the top bowler of the match is therefore the ideal choice for this fixture.

The surface is going to favour the bowlers with a good amount of swing and assistance for the new-ball bowlers, and as the innings progresses, pace-off deliveries will become increasingly effective.

For the Royals, Ravi Bishnoi has been the standout spinner with 5 wickets in 2 matches, while Nandre Burger has been at his best with 3 wickets in 2 matches. For Mumbai Indians, bowling has been something of a concern, with Jasprit Bumrah going wicketless in both matches so far. Shardul Thakur has been inconsistent, and Mitchell Santner is the most reliable option to contain runs and take wickets on this track, though he will face three quality left-handers who play spin well.

RR vs MI Player of the Match Prediction — Our Top Pick

Top-order batters have been the match-winners at Barsapara Cricket Stadium over the last two seasons, with two of the last three Player of the Match awards going to top-order contributors. We are backing the top-order batters from both sides to play match-winning knocks in today's RR vs MI fixture.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Last match stats — 55 runs vs GT
IPL 2026 stats — 93 runs in 2 matches
Record vs MI — 296 runs in 8 matches
Record at Barsapara Cricket Stadium — 146 runs in 7 matches

Jaiswal has a solid record against Mumbai Indians and has won a Player of the Match award against them in the past. He has scored past 30 runs in each of his last two matches and is in excellent form coming into today's game. On a surface where big innings can be decisive, Jaiswal is well placed to deliver a match-winning knock at a ground where he already has a strong record.

Dhruv Jurel

Last match stats — 72* runs vs GT
IPL 2026 stats — 93 runs in 2 matches
Record vs MI — 13 runs in 4 matches
Record at Barsapara Cricket Stadium — 94 runs in 7 matches

Jurel's promotion to number three has worked brilliantly, with him anchoring the innings from one end in the middle overs before accelerating in the final stages. Though his numbers against Mumbai Indians and at Guwahati are modest, his current form makes him one of the top contenders for the Player of the Match award if the Royals are to get past a dangerous Mumbai side.

Suryakumar Yadav

Last match stats — 51 runs vs DC
IPL 2026 stats — 67 runs in 2 matches
Record vs RR — 512 runs in 15 matches
Record at Barsapara Cricket Stadium — DNP

Suryakumar Yadav will always be a threat with the bat and is going to be the key figure for Mumbai Indians in this fixture. He has won five Player of the Match awards over the last three seasons, including one against the Rajasthan Royals. His ability to accelerate at any point in the innings makes him the most dangerous batter on the Mumbai side at this ground.

Bookmaker	Yashasvi Jaiswal	Dhruv Jurel	Suryakumar Yadav
1xBet	10.00	13.00	8.50
Parimatch	10.00	13.00	8.50

He is in outstanding form, has a strong record at this venue with 146 runs in 7 matches, and is the most consistent run-scorer in the Royals lineup this season.
