Mumbai’s Batting Talent

The option of batting first on a bail of a track, Mumbai Indians' batting order roared for life. Skipper Hardik Pandya led the front side, while Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan’s choice became dazzling under the Mumbai lights. His aggressive approach to the calculated approach overwhelmed the Rajasthan bowling attack, posing a huge 215/4 in his 20 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav

Forever the reliable "Sri 360", once again stamped his authority with a brilliant knock of 78 off 42 balls. His unconventional strokes, especially trademark flicks and scoops, had the crowd on their feet. His partnership with Ishan Kishan set a quick tone for MI.

Ishan Kishan

Opening the innings, Kishan was in a combative mood, scoring 62 runs off just 31 balls. His fearless strokeplay against Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal ended any initial expectations to control RR.

Hardik Pandya

The skipper provided the correct finishing touch with an unbeaten 35 off 17 balls, creating leg-side boundaries with powerful strikes and ensuring Mumbai crossed the 200-mark comfortably.

Rajasthan Royals Collapse

Chasing 216 was always going to be a difficult challenge, but RR's innings imploded. With the electric home crowd behind them, Mumbai's bowlers maintained relentless pressure from ball one. RR collapsed to just 115 all out in 16.3 overs and MI secured a huge 100-run win.

Jasprit Bumrah

The spear of MI’s attack was returned to its best. Bumrah’s 3/14 figures in his four overs mastered both new balls and death overs. His pinpoint yorkers and misleading slow deliveries eliminated the middle-order of RR.

Gerald Coetzee

The South African pacer proved to be an ideal partner for Bumrah. Coetzee’s raw motion attained him 2/20, including Jos Buttler's prized wicket, which effectively sealed the fate of Rajasthan.

Piyush Chawla

The experienced leg-spinner returned with tidy figures of 2/27, well-organized and cleverly surprising. His variations removed Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel, killing any momentum Rajasthan tried to build.

Players to Watch – Mumbai Indians

Suryakumar Yadav

After crossing 400 runs in this season, Suryakumar remains MI’s batting lynchpin. His innovative strokeplay and stability make him a standout artist as Mumbai eyes the playoffs.

Jasprit Bumrah

With 19 wickets so far this season, Bumrah has once again outlined his reputation as one of the best T20 bowlers. His control and nature are unique in crunch situations.

Tilak Varma

Though not one of the big scorers in this match, Tilak Varma’s composure and adaptability in the middle order have been important for MI throughout IPL 2025.

Rajasthan Royals’ Concerns

For Rajasthan, this defeat was a rude awakening. Sitting comfortably in the top four before this match, Royals will need to reorganize quickly as the league stage nears its business end.

Players Who Need to Step Up – Rajasthan Royals

Sanju Samson

The captain’s dismissal for 16 showed RR's inability to bat against quality pace. With his form taking a dip in the last few games, his leadership will become essential as RR tries to secure a playoff spot.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Last season he was a superstar, but he has struggled at the top this season. So far, his inability to convert starts has been a massive detriment to RR’s momentum.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal is still a wicket-taking option, but his economy rate is a concern. Rajasthan will just want their talismanic spinner to find rhythm soon.

Strategic Insights

Mumbai Indians Strategy
