Yashasvi Jaiswal’s impressive 77 not out off 32 balls led Rajasthan Royals to a strong total of 150/3 in the rain-shortened 11-overs-a-side match against Mumbai Indians. The bowlers then dominated, restricting Mumbai to 123/9, resulting in Rajasthan’s third consecutive victory in the IPL 2026.
In a high-octane game, Rajasthan’s strong start with Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 80-run opening partnership set the tone. Mumbai Indians struggled to recover from early setbacks, losing key wickets to Rajasthan’s varied bowling attack, ultimately falling short in the chase.
Despite some late resistance from Mumbai’s lower order, Rajasthan’s disciplined bowling, led by Sandeep Sharma and Ravi Bishnoi, ensured a comfortable 27-run victory for the Royals. This win propelled Rajasthan to the top of the IPL 2026 points table with six points from three wins.
Rajasthan’s aggressive batting display, coupled with clinical bowling, proved too much for Mumbai as they suffered their second consecutive defeat in the tournament. Jaiswal’s explosive innings and the team’s collective effort secured a convincing win for the Royals, solidifying their position as a strong contender in the ongoing IPL season.
