In the 38th match between RR and MI, Sandeep Sharma had done the first work for the victory. He picked up five wickets alone. With his merciless bowling, Rajasthan Royals restricted Mumbai Indians to 179 runs for 9 wickets in the run-flooded IPL.
The second work was done by Yashasvi Jaiswal. He scored a great century. In his century, Rajasthan topped the target of 180 runs given by Mumbai with 9 wickets and 8 balls in hand.
Chasing a target of 180 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, Rajasthan scored 74 runs with the opening pair of Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. Jaiswal paired with skipper Sanju Samson when Buttler got out after scoring 35 off 25 balls with 6 fours. After that, Rajasthan got a big win with an unbeaten 109-run partnership for the second wicket.
Jaiswal scored a century with a flurry of batting. This young batsman scored 104 runs in just 60 balls. His unbeaten innings had 9 boundaries and 7 sixes. Samson left the field as the winner by scoring 38 runs off 28 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes.
Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first in Jaipur. But Sandeep Sharma’s fire bowling put his team under pressure early on. Three top-order batsmen returned to the dressing room within 20 runs. Mumbai lost Rohit Sharma (6), Ishan Kishan (0), and Suryakumar Yadav (10) within 3 overs. Then, they lost 4 wickets for 54 runs.
From there, Mumbai got a challenging capital of 179 runs for 9 wickets with two great innings by Tilak Verma and Nehal Wadhera.
After losing 4 wickets for 52 runs, Tilak and Nehal made a partnership of 99 runs off 52 balls for the fifth wicket. That pair is the foundation of Mumbai’s challenging collection.
Nehal did not get a fifty for one run. He played an innings of 49 runs in 24 balls with 3 boundaries and 4 sixes. Tilak scored 65 off 45 balls. The left-handed batsman had 5 fours and 3 sixes in his innings.
Rajasthan’s right-arm pacer Sandeep Sharma single-handedly took 5 wickets at the cost of 18 runs. Trent Boult took 2 wickets for 32 runs.
Rajasthan is at the top of the table as always with 7 wins in 8 matches. On the other hand, Mumbai is in the seventh position of the table with only 3 wins in the same matches.
