The RR vs MI Weather Report will be on the minds of the fans as Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians gear up for a high-octane contest on Tuesday (April 7) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). New RR captain Riyan Parag has made a stellar start to his full-time leadership with consecutive wins while the five-time champions lost their previous game in the absence of skipper Hardik Pandya.

The toss is yet to happen as it is still pouring down in Guwahati. The chances of a full 40-over game now seem unlikely as we have started losing overs from 8:40 PM. The final cut-off time for a five-over contest is 10:50 PM. In case the contest gets washed out, both teams will share the spoils.

Coming to Mumbai Indians, they are expected to have regular skipper Hardik Pandya back for the clash after missing the previous encounter against Delhi Capitals (DC) since he was unwell.

Leggie Mayank Markande has looked underwhelming so far and will hope to redeem himself against the Royals.
