Ishan Kishan is up for a chat. He says it's not an easy time for them but they have to stuck together, and it was a collective effort in this game. Adds that the intent was clear to hit the loose balls and he hopes to win their upcoming games. Tells that the wicket was not easy, so his intent was to give his side a good start. Hopes, they win all the matches from hereon.

Sanju Samson, the skipper of Rajasthan is in for a chat. He says they should have scored more runs as there was dew later on in the game. Adds that different venues are playing in different ways. Tells that batting first was a bit tough on this wicket, as it was two-paced.

Rajasthan pulled things back really nicely after Ishan Kishan put them under pressure. It was Ravichandran Ashwin who took the prized scalp of Rohit Sharma and Trent Boult dismissed the well-set Ishan Kishan. However, they were kept at bay for a while and it was only in the 15th over that they got the much-needed wicket of SKY. Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Sen also got into the wickets column but it was too little, too late as the damage was already been done by Mumbai's batters.

Mumbai did get off to a good start and it was Ishan Kishan who came out all guns blazing and took the attack to the opposition. Although, the skipper perished early and Ishan too, got out after scoring 26 runs in no time. Then it was the partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma that steadied the ship for Mumbai and it looked like Mumbai will chase down the total with ease. However, both of them got out in quick succession and Kieron Pollard didn't find the middle of the bat either. It was Tim David who played a handy cameo and in the end, it was Daniel Sams who finished things off in style with a biggie. Not a clinical win, but Mumbai badly needed this one.

Finally, the 5-time champions have managed to win a game this season after losing 8 games in a row. Yes, Mumbai now have a 'W' in front of their name. They were cruising along nicely at one point when Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma were scoring freely but they lost wickets in quick succession and were in a spot of bother yet again. They almost made a mess of the chase but the Aussie duo of Daniel Sams and Tim David made sure that Mumbai get a win under their belt.

OUT! CAUGHT! This game is not done yet as there is another twist! A length ball, slower and angling around middle and leg.

After numerous replays, the decision comes out against Mumbai's favour as the big screen shows OUT.
