With just one win in their last six games, RR find themselves in a must-win scenario, banking on the heroics of 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi to inspire another turnaround. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians arrive with momentum on their side, having won five on the trot to climb into the top two. With both teams chasing contrasting objectives, Thursday’s clash promises to be a high-stakes battle under the Jaipur lights.
