RR disciplined bowling limited MI to 123/9
Once Rajasthan set a daunting target, their bowlers showcased a disciplined plan, keeping Mumbai Indians in check and limiting them to 123 for 9.
Mumbai Indians struggled to keep up with the asking rate of over 13 runs per over as the top order fell apart quickly, Ryan Rickelton scored 8, Rohit Sharma managed just 5, and Suryakumar Yadav contributed 6, leaving the team reeling at 23 for 3 within the first three overs.
Tilak Varma (14) and captain Hardik Pandya (9) tried to steady the innings for a brief moment, but Rajasthan’s bowlers kept up relentless pressure, hitting the right lengths and striking at crucial moments. A brief lapse in the field allowed Sherfane Rutherford to capitalize, smashing a quick 25 off just eight deliveries.
With the game reduced to 11 overs a side, Yashasvi Jaiswal began his innings with intent, taking apart Deepak Chahar in the very first over. He smashed 22 runs through a flurry of audacious shots, including a crisp four through midwicket, a towering six, and three more boundaries, instantly setting the tone for the Royals onslaught.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed a six off Jasprit Bumrah’s first delivery.
Teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi punished Jasprit Bumrah on the first short ball with a massive six before following it up with another towering strike over deep square leg. Meanwhile, Jaiswal continued his assault against Trent Boult (0/22 in 1) with three more sixes being sent out of the park in a power-packed opening partnership of 80-runs off just 30 balls
Hardik Pandya (0/17 in 2) managed a tidy over, but Rajasthan’s openers continued their assault, punishing any loose deliveries. Suryavanshi hammered Shardul Thakur for two sixes and a four before Tilak Varma pulled off a sharp catch at deep extra cover to end the 15-year-old Suryavanshi’s explosive innings.
Mumbai Indians tried to fight back through Allah Ghazanfar (2/21), who dismissed Dhruv Jurel (2) and Riyan Parag (20) at long-on. Yet, Yashasvi Jaiswal remained in total control, racing to a 23-ball half-century and finishing with a boundary to help Rajasthan post a commanding 150 in 11 overs.
