MI vs RR IPL 2024: Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians are in the hunt for their first win of the season after starting their season with two back-to-back losses. MI's record at the start of an IPL season usually remains poor as they are known as slow-starters and the captaincy of Hardik could not change it till now.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals are on a roll after two successive wins in the season and look like a more settled unit as of now. They are one of the only two teams to be undefeated ahead of the 14th match of the tournament. 

Mumbai are returning to their home venue for the first time this year and they would hope that the fortunes take a turn now. Ahead of the clash, here is Mumbai's weather report for April 1.
