Mumbai Indians Vs Rajasthan Royals Match Scorecard
By Johan Curtis No Comments 5 minutes
In one of the most explosive matches of the IPL 2025 season, Mumbai Indians (MI) delivered a cricketing masterclass against the struggling Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. With high stakes and playoff hopes on the line, MI stepped up in style, piling on a massive total of 217/2, and then decimating the Royals’ batting lineup to seal a 100-run victory.
This crucial win not only extended Mumbai’s winning streak to six consecutive matches but also elevated them to the top of the IPL points table, putting them in a commanding position as the playoffs approach. For Rajasthan Royals, however, the crushing defeat marked the end of their playoff dreams, making it a bitter night in front of their home crowd.
From the very beginning, the momentum belonged to Mumbai. Their top-order batters showed no mercy, with openers launching an all-out assault on the RR bowlers. The fireworks began early and never relented, as MI showcased their deep batting strength and clinical precision. Every over was turned into a nightmare for Rajasthan, as boundaries flowed with ease and bowlers were left without answers.
When it came time to defend, Mumbai’s bowlers were just as ruthless. Jasprit Bumrah led from the front with a fiery opening spell, while spinners applied the choke in the middle overs. Rajasthan’s batting order crumbled under pressure, with no real partnerships to anchor the chase. By the end of the night, the Royals had not just lost a match—they had been outclassed in every department.

Match Analysis
Mumbai’s Explosive Batting Display
Opting to bat first, MI’s opening duo—Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma—put Rajasthan’s bowlers under immense pressure from the very start. Rickelton’s knock of 61 off 38 set the tone, blending elegant strokes with sheer power. Rohit Sharma, ever the calm anchor, played a classy 53 off 36 balls, ensuring the run rate never dipped.
But the real fireworks came from Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, who finished the innings in style with an unbeaten 93-run partnership off just 40 balls. Their aggressive shot selection and fearless intent powered MI past the 200-run mark, leaving Rajasthan with an uphill task.
Rajasthan’s Batting Collapse
Chasing 218, Rajasthan never looked in control. The top order folded quickly under MI’s disciplined pace attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah, who finished with brilliant figures of 3 for 17. Gerald Coetzee also continued his impressive form, taking 3 wickets with aggressive short-pitched bowling.
The Royals’ middle order, which has been inconsistent all season, failed to absorb the pressure. Riyan Parag’s 22 was the only bright spot, but his dismissal ended any slim hopes of a fightback. By the 16th over, it was all over for the Royals, who were bowled out for just 117, recording one of the lowest team totals of IPL 2025.
Player of the Match
Ryan Rickelton was adjudged the Player of the Match for his powerful 61-run knock, which laid the perfect foundation for MI’s dominant total.
What This Means for the Teams
Mumbai Indians – Table Toppers
This victory marked MI’s sixth straight win, showing their complete turnaround from a shaky start to the tournament. With the playoffs approaching, their form looks lethal—batting depth, pace attack, and seasoned finishers all clicking at the right time.
Rajasthan Royals – Knocked Out
On the flip side, this loss officially knocked the Rajasthan Royals out of the IPL 2025 playoff race. Their campaign, plagued by inconsistent batting and ineffective bowling at crucial moments, ended with just 3 wins from 11 matches. Captain Sanju Samson admitted post-match that the team “lost the momentum” and “misfired in the middle order all season long.”
Conclusion
This clash between MI and RR was a stark reminder of the contrasting fortunes that define the IPL. Mumbai Indians, a team with a championship pedigree, showcased why they remain perennial contenders, while Rajasthan Royals’ frailties were brutally exposed under pressure.
As the tournament inches closer to its knockout phase, MI looks like a side reborn, with balanced bowling, fearless batting, and momentum on their side. Rajasthan, meanwhile, must go back to the drawing board and rethink its approach for the next season.
If this match was a glimpse of what’s to come, MI fans can dare to dream of lifting another IPL trophy in 2025.
