MI Beat RR by 100 Runs to Keep Playoffs Dream Alive in Jaipur
Mumbai Indians delivered a resounding statement in Jaipur on Thursday, thrashing Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs to breathe life into their IPL 2025 playoff push. A dazzling batting display saw MI post a mammoth 217/2, spearheaded by classy half-centuries from Rohit Sharma (53) and Ryan Rickelton (61). Finishing fireworks from captain Hardik Pandya (48* off 20) and Suryakumar Yadav (48* off 22) added to the carnage, leaving RR stunned.
In response, Rajasthan’s chase never took off. Jasprit Bumrah (2/15) and Trent Boult (3/28) dismantled the top order with early strikes, while leg-spinner Karn Sharma (3/23) mopped up the tail. The Royals folded for a mere 117 in 16.1 overs, crashing out of playoff contention in front of their home crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
With this emphatic win, MI not only kept their playoff hopes alive but also sent a strong message to their rivals. Can they ride this momentum to the trophy?
