Mumbai Indians (217/2) beat Rajasthan Royals (117 all out) by 100 runs
Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

Mumbai Indians (MI) stormed to the top of the IPL 2025 points table with a dominant 100-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR), recording their first win in Jaipur since 2012 and effectively knocking RR out of playoff contention.

MI Batting Brilliance: Four Batters, 40+ Each

Batting first, MI posted a mammoth 217/2 — the joint-highest IPL total at the venue — led by strong performances from Riyan Rickelton (61), Rohit Sharma (53), Suryakumar Yadav (48),* and *Hardik Pandya (48)**. This marked the first time in MI history that four players scored 40 or more in the same IPL innings.

After a quiet start, Rohit shifted gears midway through the powerplay, displaying impeccable timing and strategy. Rickelton countered RR’s tactics by pulling and clearing the long leg-side boundary with ease, scoring 34 of his first 51 runs on the leg side alone.

Suryakumar Yadav’s impact was instant — attacking six of his first seven deliveries. He remained unbeaten on 48 and extended his streak to 11 consecutive IPL scores of 25+. Pandya, meanwhile, smashed 94 runs in partnership with SKY off just 44 balls, taking MI past 200.

RR Collapse: From Suryavanshi’s Century to a Golden Duck

Expectations were high from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old sensation who stunned the world with a century in his previous outing. But cricket, as ever, is a great leveller — he fell for a duck trying to go big early.

RR never recovered from the early blows and crumbled under scoreboard pressure. The top scorer was Jofra Archer with 30 — a telling stat of how one-sided the game became.

Bowling Carnage: Boult, Bumrah, Karn Dismantle Royals

Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah were lethal with the new ball, dismantling RR’s top order. Boult removed Yashasvi Jaiswal early, celebrating with his trademark finger-gun gesture, while Bumrah peppered Parag with bouncers, conceding just one run from nine short deliveries. Bumrah finished with 2 for 15, while Karn Sharma cleaned up the middle order with 3 for 23.

RR found themselves at 47 for 5 inside the powerplay. By the 16th over, they were all out for 117. Their highest partnership came for the 10th wicket, summing up a night to forget.

Key Stats & Takeaways:

• MI’s first win in Jaipur since 2012
• Four MI batters scored 40+ in an IPL innings — a first
• SKY: 11 consecutive 25+ scores in IPL
• RR eliminated from playoff contention
• MI top of the points table with 6 straight wins
