In the post-match interaction, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene reflected on a season that never quite clicked, while also explaining why Raj Angad Bawa was trusted to deliver the decisive final over during Bengaluru\u2019s chase of 167.<\/p>\n<h2>Coach Mahela on Raj Angad Bawa and MI\u2019s end-of-season reality<\/h2>\n<p>Jayawardene\u2019s focus in the presser was the final over, where MI defended a target of 167 but ultimately allowed the game to slip away. He noted that Raj was forced to bowl under pressure after experienced options had completed their allotted overs, and he credited Raj with sticking to his plans\u2014particularly his wide yorkers\u2014during training.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about Raj\u2019s performance, Jayawardene said the youngster is \u201ca decent bowler\u201d and that the coaching staff had seen him execute wide yorkers reliably on the practice ground. He also highlighted the wicket Raj managed to produce, dismissing Romario Shepherd, and acknowledged that the over contained swings that proved costly, including 15 runs conceded due to extras and a six struck by Bhuvneshwar Kumar after Shepherd\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had only a few spinners left. Surya backed himself, while Raj is also a decent bowler. During training, he executes those wide yorkers consistently. He stuck to his line and picked the wicket of Romario Shepherd. He (Romario), too, was under pressure. We fought well; it was a game of margins. Probably we should have executed better at the end,\u201d Jayawardene said.<\/p>\n<h2>Why MI fell short: gaps, injuries and missed chances<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond that final-over episode, Jayawardene described the wider season as disappointing for Mumbai. He argued that MI were close enough to have pushed into playoff contention, but key results didn\u2019t arrive at the right time. He also referenced the uneven nature of the wicket and the way match conditions influenced the batters\u2019 ability to pick the right scoring rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>He said MI were \u201ctwo or three wins away\u201d from becoming contenders in the playoff race, but those wins never came\u2014calling the match a \u201cclassic example\u201d of where the team fell short.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jayawardene said the wicket became uneven, and he believed there was dew overnight that affected conditions.<\/li>\n<li>He added that batters went for big hits without knowing what the wicket would ultimately allow, leading to pressure and a run of dot balls in the middle overs.<\/li>\n<li>He concluded that MI were simply not good enough on the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The coach also pointed to a campaign shaped by niggles and availability issues. He said several players carried minor injuries, while some were not available for selection across stretches of the tournament, citing Will Jacks as an example who missed most matches.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jayawardene said changes were often forced due to fitness and availability.<\/li>\n<li>He listed injury concerns involving Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Santner during the tournament.<\/li>\n<li>He stressed that there are \u201cno excuses\u201d and that MI must still perform, given the quality in their squad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even with the disappointment, Jayawardene expressed confidence in the team\u2019s core group. He described Mumbai as a \u201cquality unit\u201d and said players such as Rohit, Suryakumar, Hardik, Tilak Varma and Jasprit Bumrah gave their best efforts despite the disruption around them. He also referenced the World Cup run, saying the core arrived in the tournament after playing the championship and winning it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were fully committed and have put in a lot of effort. Rohit is getting injured and then coming back and giving his best. They have come here after playing the World Cup and even won it. The core group is very valuable for us,\u201d Jayawardene signed off.<\/p>\n<h2>Match report: MI\u2019s 166\/7 and RCB\u2019s chase under pressure<\/h2>\n<p>In the game itself, Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and chose to field first. The plan looked decisive early when MI were reduced to 28\/3 during the powerplay after Bhuvneshwar Kumar\u2019s control set the tone.<\/p>\n<p>However, Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma steadied the innings with an 82-run partnership. Dhir struck 47 off 32 deliveries, including five fours and two sixes, while Varma made 57 off 42, with three fours and two sixes. By the end of 20 overs, Mumbai finished on 166\/7.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MI\u2019s innings: 166\/7 in 20 overs after being reduced to 28\/3 in the powerplay.<\/li>\n<li>Dhir: 47 (32 balls), five fours, two sixes.<\/li>\n<li>Tilak Varma: 57 (42 balls), three fours, two sixes.<\/li>\n<li>Final contribution note: Raj Angad Bawa and Corbin Bosch together added just 11 runs in the last two overs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was RCB\u2019s leading performer, taking 4\/23. Josh Hazlewood returned figures of 1\/33, while Romario Shepherd chipped in as well, taking 1\/18 across three overs.<\/p>\n<h3>RCB\u2019s chase: Kohli out again, Krunal\u2019s surge and late wickets<\/h3>\n<p>During Bengaluru\u2019s chase, Virat Kohli was dismissed for a second consecutive golden duck, falling for 0. RCB were then 39\/3, with Deepak Chahar playing a key role by dictating the early phase.<\/p>\n<p>Krunal steadied the pursuit with a counter-attacking effort. He struck 73 off 46 balls, smashing four boundaries and five sixes, and forged a 55-run stand with Jacob Bethell, who scored 26 off 27 balls with two fours. Krunal also combined with Jitesh Sharma for another 38-run partnership, as Sharma made 18, helping RCB reach a sharp, momentum-heavy fifty.<\/p>\n<p>But the middle-to-death stage swung again. Corbin Bosch (4\/26) and Allah Ghazanfar (1\/33) took crucial wickets, including dismissing Krunal, and restricted RCB to 149\/7 in 18 overs.<\/p>\n<p>Romario Shepherd struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, managing only four runs off 11 balls while Bumrah finished with figures of 0\/20. With 12 needed off the final over, Raj Angad Bawa bowled under pressure and a flurry of extras eased the target. Bhuvneshwar Kumar then hit a six, and despite Romario\u2019s dismissal, RCB still got the job done on the last ball. Rasikh Salam Dar struck 3* to finish the chase and claim the win.<\/p>\n<h2>Season standings: RCB top with 14 points, MI eliminated<\/h2>\n<p>The result underlined the gap between the teams in the points table. RCB finished the season phase with seven wins and four defeats, sitting first on the standings with 14 points. MI ended in ninth place with three victories and eight losses, and were eliminated from the playoff race alongside Lucknow Super Giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai
