Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Match Highlights & Results

Quinton de Kock is the Player of the Match! That's all we have from this match but don't go too far away as the second match of the evening is about to begin. Hop tabs and catch all the action. Cheers!

Once again the Mumbai bowlers were the focal point! After a troubled beginning in the first 10 overs, they made a resounding comeback and didn't allow Rajasthan the desired finish. Rahul Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah were brilliant in their spells and must be commended for playing a big role in keeping Rajasthan down to 171. During the chase, Quinton de Kock finally spent some time in the middle and regained his lost touch. Plenty of positives for the defending champions along with this victory.

Mumbai return to winning ways! They have pulled off a clinical chase to end their losing streak. It could have been a tricky chase had Rajasthan picked early wickets in the Powerplay but that didn't happen as the pair of Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock put on a strong opening stand. That put Mumbai in good stead and then the stand between Krunal and de Kock almost put the chase to bed. Towards the end, Kieron Pollard flexed his muscles and overhauled the target with 9 balls to spare.
