Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s first spell with the new ball is often a signal for batters to settle in\u2014but in Guwahati, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi decided to attack from the very start. In the Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians clash, the young batter took on Bumrah in the second over, smashing two sixes off just four balls as the contest carried extra urgency with rain forcing the game to a reduced 11-over format for each side.<\/p>\n
The match in Guwahati was reduced to 11 overs per team after persistent rain disrupted play. The delay stretched to more than two-and-a-half hours before action could resume, meaning every over carried heightened importance in the shortened contest.<\/p>\n
With Bumrah entering the attack, the batter\u2019s mindset was clear. Sooryavanshi launched the first delivery he received over long-on, then struck again to send another ball into the stands, immediately forcing Mumbai Indians to rethink their early plans.<\/p>\n
While Sooryavanshi\u2019s approach set the tone, it was not enough to carry him for long. He made 39 runs before getting out, ending a brief but impactful spell that had already shifted the pressure onto Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n
The dismissal came when Shardul Thakur had him caught by Tilak Varma, bringing an end to an innings that began with an emphatic challenge against one of the league\u2019s leading bowlers.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl against Rajasthan Royals, setting up the chase for the hosts in the rain-affected contest.<\/p>\n
Pandya returns to lead the side after recovering from illness. Trent Boult and spinner Allah Ghazanfar are also back in the playing XI after missing the previous match. Rajasthan, meanwhile, stick with an unchanged team selection.<\/p>\n
