Rajasthan Royals put the brakes on Mumbai Indians early, dismantling the visitors’ batting order so thoroughly that MI slumped to 46/5 within the first five overs. A short spell of resistance from the lower-middle order offered only limited hope, but the stand didn’t turn into a platform. Mumbai eventually posted 123/9, and the chase never looked realistic—marking MI’s second successive loss. With form clicking in both departments, Rajasthan’s momentum appears to be building fast, and Yashasvi Jaiswal has been central to that surge, rewriting record books with each appearance.
