Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will be in action on his 36th birthday today

Rohit Sharma will take the field later tonight, leading the Mumbai Indians against the Rajasthan Royals. MI have not had the best of the season so far in IPL 2023. The five-time champions hold the ninth position in the points table with only six points in their account.

Rajasthan Royals have played some good cricket in the competition. The inaugural champions are in second position, having earned 10 points from eight matches. RR have defeated MI twice in their last two matches at the Wankhede Stadium. A win in tonight's match can take the Jaipur-based franchise to the number one position in the standings.

While RR seem the favorites to win tonight because of their recent form and record against MI at the Wankhede Stadium, it is pertinent to note that Mumbai defeated Rajasthan on this day in 2022. It was Rohit Sharma's 35th birthday, and the team snapped their eight-match losing streak with a five-wicket win over RR.
