IPL 2025: MI vs RCB fans say 'Virat will be MOM'

Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set for a thrilling face-off today, April 7, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. As the 20th match of IPL 2025 begins at 7:30 PM, both teams are coming in with very different momentum. As both sides prepare for battle, fans and analysts alike are speculating whether Mumbai can turn their season around or if RCB will continue their strong start.

Current standings: Pressure on Mumbai, momentum with Bengaluru

Mumbai Indians find themselves in a tough spot this season, currently placed 8th on the points table with just one win from four matches. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had a more stable run, sitting at number 3 with two wins in three games. The pressure is clearly on Mumbai, especially playing at home, to deliver a strong comeback and keep their playoff hopes alive.

Form favouring RCB, but MI’s familiarity can’t be ignored

While history leans slightly in favour of Mumbai—with 19 wins to RCB’s 14 from 33 matches—current form tells a different story. According to ChatGPT, RCB appear stronger at this stage. However, Mumbai’s experience at Wankhede and the possible return of Jasprit Bumrah could shake things up. Google Gemini expects a high-scoring game with RCB likely to seal it, unless MI pulls off something dramatic.

What fans are saying about RCB vs MI

On social media, fans are buzzing with predictions and excitement. One user wrote, “My prediction: RCB will win today easily! Virat Kohli will be MOM.”
