IPL 2024: 3 milestones that could be reached in tonight's RR vs MI clash 

The 38th match of IPL 2024 promises to be a high-octane one. Rajasthan Royals (RR), currently sitting pretty at the top of the points table, will lock horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 22.

Rajasthan have been the team to beat this season, with a dominant performance so far. They've won a whopping six out of their seven matches, with their batting firepower led by the in-form Jos Buttler, who already has two centuries under his belt.

Mumbai, on the other hand, have had a more inconsistent run, managing just three wins from seven games. However, their last victory against Punjab Kings showed glimpses of their potential, with Suryakumar Yadav anchoring the innings with a brilliant 78.

Every IPL game offers both teams a chance to reach a certain milestone. Hence, some records are on the verge of being shattered ahead of this game as well.

On that note, let's take a look at the top three landmarks that could be reached in today's RR vs. MI fixture.

Currently the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, Chahal sits at an impressive 199 scalps from 152 matches, boasting a wicket in every 16.72 balls. This upcoming match presents a golden opportunity for Chahal to achieve this historic feat.
