Who will win MI vs RCB IPL 2021 opening match?

Mumbai Indians will certainly remain the favourites to start their IPL 2021 title defense with a big victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday. The defending champions once again have a strong core of players who have the ability to emerge as wonderful match-winners on different occasions. However, they will be without their premier opener Quinton de Kock in this first match as he is not available due to the mandatory quarantine protocols and thus, Chris Lynn is likely to partner Rohit Sharma at the top.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have two big casualties as two of their premier players in Devdutt Padikkal and Daniel Sams have tested positive for coronavirus ahead of IPL 2021. The RCB team management will surely have a challenging task to pick their playing XI for the first game against Mumbai.
