Rajasthan Royals Follow Chennai Super Kings To Crash Out Of Playoff Race As Mumbai Indians Coast To 6th Successive Win
Rajasthan Royals crumbled in stunning fashion to crash out of IPL 2025 playoff race as they lost to the Mumbai Indians by 100 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After Mumbai Indians’ batters delivered a near-complete batting performance, their pace bowlers wrecked the Royals’ top order to fashion a sixth consecutive win for the five-time champions.
Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton took their time but shifted gears in the fifth over when the latter took Jofra Archer for 18 runs off the six balls he bowled. After both batters hit fifties, they departed in successive overs. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya didn’t let the top-order batters’ go into waste. Instead, they carried on with gusto.
Deepak Chahar made the first incision by removing the mercurial Vaibhav Suryavanshi for a duck, while Trent Boult dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana. The former looked in promising touch with two consecutive sixes but got castled by Boult immediately after that.
Bumrah struck twice in his first over, dismissing Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer for single-figure scores, sending half of their side back to the pavilion. The fact that Jofra Archer was their top-scorer with 30 painted a sorry picture for the Royals, crumbling to 117 and eventually losing by 100 runs.
