The Rajasthan Royals’ top order has collapsed after a fierce bowling attack during the run chase in the IPL 2025 game against the Mumbai Indians.
They went on to lose the wickets of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer within the powerplay.
Boult and Bumrah, along with Chahar, created havoc in Rajasthan’s batting lineup up picking five wickets within the powerplay.
Earlier, Mumbai posted a total of 217 runs for 2 wickets in their 20-over innings.
Despite having a poor start in the ongoing season, Mumbai has stormed into the top-four position of the IPL 2025 Points table after 6 wins out of 10 games and is one of the strong contenders for the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan are playing their must-win game to keep their playoff chances alive.
