MI will next take on RR on April 2 in the ongoing IPL 15.
Batter Suryakumar Yadav has joined the Mumbai Indians' (MI) camp ahead of their second game of the IPL 2022 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), which will be played on April 2nd.
The Mumbai Indians (MI) vs. Rajasthan Royals (RR) clash will be held at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai on Saturday.
