IPL Fantasy 2026: Fantasy XI for Match 69: MI vs RR

The Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns in the 69th match of IPL 2025 on Sunday, May 24, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

With Mitchell Marsh not featuring for LSG in last night’s clash, we pivoted to a punt on Nicholas Pooran, which did not work out.

Captain: Nicholas Pooran | Vice-Captain: Shreyas Iyer.

Total Points: 22,673.5.

Transfer Deadline: Sunday, May 24, 3:30 pm IST.

Transfers

Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 2

Credits Remaining: 1.

1) Shreyas Iyer (PBKS) (BAT) (10.5 Credits) – OUT | Ryan Rickelton (MI) (WK) (9 Credits) – IN

2) Nicholas Pooran (LSG) (WK) (10.5 Credits) – OUT | Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) (BAT) (10 Credits) – IN

This is a must-win game for the Rajasthan Royals, and they’ll have it pretty tough against an MI team that should play more freely, now that they have nothing to lose.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, despite his topsy-turvy season, enjoys batting against MI, and has scored 373 runs at an average of 53.3 and a strike rate of 187.4. He should be aiming for another big score this afternoon.

Ryan Rickelton, meanwhile, has thoroughly enjoyed batting at the Wankhede Stadium this season. The Proteas wicket-keeper is MI’s highest run-scorer in IPL 2026, smashing 326 runs in five home matches, averaging 81.5, and striking at 203.6! He’s a very easy transfer in for this clash.

IPL Fantasy 2026 – Fantasy XI for Match 69 – MI vs RR: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips

Players playing in Match 69: Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) (BAT) (10 Credits), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (RR) (BAT) (9 Credits), Ryan Rickelton (MI) (WK) (9 Credits), and Hardik Pandya (MI) (ALL) (10.5 Credits).

Booster Used: Triple Captain (Contingent on Weather)

Weather permitting, this would be a good fixture to use the Triple Captain booster with all four players on our teams having good match-ups and numbers.

Despite his struggles throughout the season, we are quite tempted by one last punt on Hardik Pandya, who loves playing against RR, scoring 515 runs at an average of 64.4 and a strike rate of 172.8, also picking up 12 wickets.
