Mumbai Indians put up a terrific all-round show to outplay Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs in their IPL 2025 game at Jaipur on Thursday. Getting an invitation to bat first, MI posted 217 for 2 in their stipulated quota of 20 overs before bundling out RR for 117. The win helped the Hardik Pandya-led side take the top spot in the points table. They are equal on 14 points with second-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru but have a better net run rate. That meant Punjab Kings too slipped a position, moving to the number three spot.
Suryakumar Yadav now has the Orange Cap with him with the tally of 475 runs in 11 matches. RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood continues to hold the Purple Cap with 18 wickets in 10 games.
Mumbai Indians extended their remarkable winning streak to six matches with a 100-run rout of Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, pushing the home team out of the race for playoffs.
Openers Rohit Sharma (53 off 36 balls) and Ryan Rickelton (61 off 38) struck sublime half-centuries before Suryakumar Yadav (48 not out off 23) and Hardik Pandya (48 not out off 23) went on the offensive to power Mumbai Indians to 217 for two.
Royals, who chased down 210 against Gujarat Titans here three nights ago with more than four overs to spare, never got going in the run chase and folded up for 117 in 16.1 overs.
It was Royals' eighth defeat in 11 games while Mumbai Indians have seven wins from 11 matches. Another victory should be enough to secure a playoffs berth for the five-time champions.
