Packed with young talents and game-changers on both sides, Kohli's royal fleet of challengers would be taking on Rohit's Mumbai Indians on Monday and the match, which is the ten one of the league, would be hosted by Dubai International Stadium. 

The league has been presenting the real T20 games with major twists, stunning plays, and debacles, and the battle between India's captain and the country's hitman would no way fall less than the expectations as with the potent squads, both the team will be fighting hard to register their second victory in the league as from the toss to the presentation ceremony, fans are awaiting to have excitement. 

Both Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had won and lost one of their matches so far in the current season and in total, both the teams had contested for 25 times each other with Mumbai having a lead after registering 16 victories. MI had dominated the RCB in the last five matches it had won four of the five matches against RCB. 

However, Kohli's fleet is hoping to deter the dominance of Mumbai Indians this time as it would be one of the crucial matches for the RCB in the current season. MI carries the tenacity and strategies of what it had while playing against Kolkata Knight Riders to the current match against RCB, whereas Virat's army would be hitting the battlefield with more caution after it had lost to Kings XI Punjab in its previous match.

The two batsmen are among the top-three run-getters of the tournament and they would be looking to smash the opponent bowlers and add more runs to their tally. 

Yuzvendra Chahal, AB de Villiers, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Virat Kohli are the important players to watch out for during the match. Possibly, the game would also unveil the following records and milestones - Rohit Sharma needs 10 runs to complete 5000 IPL runs. He is also a six away from 150 IPL sixes for Mumbai Indians. 

Virat Kohli needs 73 runs to complete 5500 IPL runs and requires 10 sixes to complete 200 IPL sixes. AB de Villiers needs 26 runs to complete 4500 IPL runs and Mumbai's Suryakumar Yadav needs two sixes to complete 50 IPL sixes.
