Mumbai Indians are off to a flying start, racing to 58 without loss at the end of the mandatory powerplay. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton looked in sublime touch, capitalising on the fielding restrictions with a flurry of boundaries and sharp running between the wickets. With the pitch playing true and the outfield lightning quick, MI signaled their intent early, putting pressure on the RR bowlers who struggled to find any rhythm.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, IPL 2025 Match Highlights: Rickleton Continues Rich Form

Ryan Rickelton continued his rich vein of form, notching up his third fifty of the season off just 29 deliveries against Rajasthan Royals, showcasing both poise and power. Despite RR's strategy of cramping him for room by targeting his body and taking pace off the ball, Rickelton adapted brilliantly. Employing short-arm pulls and clever placement, he found gaps behind square with precision. A deeper look at his innings reveals that a staggering 34 runs off just nine balls was on leg side

MI 99/0 (10 overs)

Mumbai Indians’ opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton scripted a rare feat on Thursday by bringing up the team’s first 100+ stand outside Wankhede since 2020 — and only their second in the last five years. .

Rohit Sharma shifted gears in vintage style after a cautious start, moving from 12 off 11 to a flurry of boundaries — seven in his next 20 balls — maintaining a boundary every 2.8 deliveries to reach half-century in 31 deliveries. Though he hasn’t cleared the ropes yet, his strokeplay has been a masterclass in placement and timing, especially the way he stepped leg-side to pierce gaps on the off side against both pace and spin. Rajasthan Royals finally found some respite when Maheesh Theekshana broke the opening stand of 116 run by clean bowling Ryan Rickelton.

MI 123/2 (13 overs)

Rohit Sharma’s fifty against Rajasthan Royals marked only the fifth time in his 89 T20 scores of 50 or more that he reached the milestone without hitting a six.

Rajasthan Royals turned to yorkers in search of control, but Mumbai Indians’ duo had all the answers. Suryakumar Yadav employed his signature scoops to counter the full length, while Hardik Pandya went deep into his crease, cleverly turning near-yorkers into slot balls. That tactical shift gave him just enough leverage to swing cleanly through the line, unleashing his raw power. The result: four boundaries in a pivotal 18th over bowled by Fazalhaq Farooqi, as MI’s captain shifted momentum firmly in their favour.

MI 204/2 (19)

Mumbai Indians rode on blistering half-centuries from openers Ryan Rickelton (61) and Rohit Sharma (53) to post a commanding total of 217/2 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday. The duo stitched a century opening stand—their first 100+ partnership outside Wankhede since 2020—setting a strong platform for the power-hitters to follow. Their calculated aggression, especially during the middle overs, dismantled RR’s bowling plans and laid the foundation for MI’s late flourish.

The fairytale came crashing down for 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi as he was dismissed for a duck by Mumbai Indians pacer Deepak Chahar. Just days after making headlines with a sensational century, the young prodigy couldn't replicate his magic, mistiming a full delivery straight to Will Jacks at mid-on. Standing momentarily in disbelief with hands on hips, Suryavanshi had to walk back as MI erupted in celebration.

RR 23/2 (2.4 overs)

Mumbai Indians unleashed a fiery Powerplay burst against Rajasthan Royals, picking up four wickets inside six overs — the third time they’ve done so this season after similar blitzes against KKR and SRH. Their approach was aggressive and well-planned, especially against Riyan Parag, who was targeted with the short ball right from the start. Trent Boult, known for swing, surprised Parag by banging in a bouncer first up, while Jasprit Bumrah followed suit with similar hostility. It was another well-directed bumper that eventually dismissed Parag, as he fended a top edge to midwicket. The drama didn’t stop there — Shimron Hetmyer, greeted with a close-in short leg and another short ball, absolutely smoked it off the middle. But even that couldn’t pierce the field as Suryakumar Yadav pulled off a stunning reflex catch, leaving Hetmyer stunned and MI in total control.

RR 64/5 in 7 overs

Mumbai Indians are delivering exactly what their captain wants. Impact Sub Karn Sharma has struck twice in just seven balls, removing Maheesh Theekshana and tightening the screws further. By the 12th over, Rajasthan Royals had collapsed to 87 for 8, with MI’s relentless pressure turning the game into a one-sided affair.

Mumbai Indians etched another chapter in their rich IPL history by equalling their longest winning streak — six matches — a feat previously achieved in 2008 and 2017. Their emphatic 100-run victory over Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium wasn’t just a statement win, it was a show of dominance. With clinical performances across departments, MI have now surged into top gear at the business end of the season, looking every bit like serious title contenders once again.

Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2025 campaign came to a crushing halt in Jaipur, in the most underwhelming fashion possible. Their top scorer on the night was fast bowler Archer, and their highest partnership came for the 10th wicket — a telling reflection of their batting collapse. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians, who hadn't won in Jaipur since 2012, rewrote that narrative with authority. They first posted the joint-highest IPL total at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium and then bulldozed RR by 100 runs, climbing back to the top of the points table. While MI march ahead as title favourites, RR exit the season with little more than what-ifs and missed chances.

"We have to give credit to the way MI played. The way they batted, took the game a little deep, kept the 10 runs per over consistency and accelerated in the end. As far as our batting is concerned it wasn't our day. 190-200 would have been ideal (to chase), but then Hardik and Surya bhai at the end really switched it up, we could have done a few things better but it is how it is. We have been getting good starts but it is up to the middle order - myself, Dhruv, for us to step up when we lose wickets in the powerplay, but we still back ourselves, if another situation (like today) comes up then we will be up for it. (how has the season gone) We have done a lot of things right, lot of things wrong, we want to focus on the things we have done right, lot of mistakes, lot of small errors, focus on how to not make them and we have had a few close matches, if we get an opportunity like the first 10 games in the next 3 then hopefully we can do it better."

Most consecutive wins for MI in IPL

Mumbai Indians have now equalled their best-ever winning streak in a single IPL season, with six consecutive victories in 2025 — matching their similar feats in 2008 and 2017. Historically, whenever MI have strung together five or more wins in a season, they have gone on to reach the final — except for the 2008 season. If history is any indicator, MI's red-hot form could be steering them straight toward another final appearance.

MI while defending 200-plus targets

Mumbai Indians have developed an unmatched reputation when defending tall totals. In the 17 matches where they have posted scores in excess of 200, MI have won every single time. Their incredible 17-0 win-loss record while defending 200+ totals underscores not only their batting firepower but also their composure and variety with the ball under pressure.

First win for MI against RR in Jaipur since 2012

Mumbai Indians finally broke their Jaipur jinx after more than a decade, registering their first win at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium against Rajasthan Royals since 2012. The streak had included four straight losses, but MI came into this match determined to rewrite history — and did so emphatically with a dominant 100-run win that banished past struggles in the Pink City.

Biggest win margins for MI in IPL (by runs)

The 100-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur is now Mumbai Indians' third-biggest win by runs in IPL history. Only two wins surpass this — a 146-run demolition of Delhi Capitals in 2017 and a 102-run hammering of KKR in 2018. This latest victory reinforces MI's habit of not just winning, but winning big, when they find their rhythm.

Biggest defeat margins for RR in IPL (by runs)

Rajasthan Royals' 100-run loss to Mumbai Indians in Jaipur ranks as their second-heaviest defeat in IPL history. Only once have they fared worse — a crushing 112-run loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore at the same venue in 2023. This latest blow continues a worrying trend for RR in recent seasons, highlighting their vulnerability when things spiral out of control.

"The way we batted, and we were clinical with the ball - so absolutely [a perfect game]. We could have got another 15 runs. What we were trying to speak to each other was to play percentage shots. Surya and I said there's value for shots... Ro and Ryan batted the same way. I think it was absolutely fantastic. It is never about people getting chances; it's about what is required in the situation. People are going back to batsmanship. As a group, the way we batted was proper batsmanship. I don't know who all to mention [among the bowlers]. Everyone is really clear. We're going back to simple cricket, and it's working for that. We want to take game by game, and be humble and disciplined."
