In response, Royals were down and out at 12/3 before Jos Buttler gave them a glimmer of hope with a 44-ball 70. But he did not get any support and RR ended up at 136 in 18.1 overs for a 57-run loss, their third in a row. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Mumbai's pace trio was exceptional once again with Jasprit Bumrah being the pick of them, returning with figures of 4/20, the best of the tournament so far. Trent Boult struck twice while James Pattinson removed Buttler in the 14th over. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Earlier, MI openers Rohit Sharma (35 off 23) and Quinton De Kock (23 off 15 balls) forged a quickfire 49-run stand. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Debutant pacer Kartik Tyagi (1/36) removed De Kock in his very first over to provide the much needed breakthrough. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

RR leggie Shreyas Gopal (2/28) struck twice in as many balls removing Rohit and Ishan Kishan (0) to leave Mumbai at 88 for three in the 10th over. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

Mumbai suffered a mini middle-order collapse after a good start before late-hitting from Yadav and Hardik Pandya (30 not out off 19) enabled the defending champions to amass 51 runs in the last three overs. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

It was remarkable how quickly Yadav overcame a blow on the helmet from Jofra Archer en route to his career-best score in the IPL. (Photo: BCCI/IPL)
