Guwahati: In this match, the Rajasthan Royals went on the offensive right from the very start. They racked up 22 runs in the very first over, a blistering start that set the entire tone for the match. Yashasvi Jaiswal wasted no time, unleashing a barrage of fours and sixes that left the Mumbai bowlers with absolutely no opportunity to regroup.

The Match Turned During the Powerplay

In just three overs, the team had already crossed the 50-run mark. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided excellent support, playing some impressive big shots of his own. Mumbai's bowlers—such as Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult—lost their line and length, a lapse that Rajasthan capitalized on to the fullest.

Even the Big Bowlers Couldn't Escape

Even Mumbai's star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, could not escape this onslaught; his overs, too, were peppered with sixes. Although Hardik Pandya managed to bowl an economical over, the rest of the bowling attack was taken to the cleaners.

Jaiswal's Magnificent Record

In this match, Jaiswal once again proved just how much he relishes playing against Mumbai.

  • 373 runs in 9 innings against MI
  • An average of 53+ and a strike rate exceeding 187
  • 2 centuries and several other substantial innings

Had he faced a few more deliveries, we might well have witnessed yet another century.

Dominance Maintained in the Final Overs

Rajasthan's aggressive batting pace remained undiminished right up until the final over. Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer also contributed quick runs, helping the team post a formidable total of 150/3 in just 11 overs—a target that, in such a short match, appeared almost insurmountable.

Rajasthan's Brilliance in Numbers

  • 100 runs in the first 6 overs (a run rate of 16+)
  • 50 runs in the remaining 5 overs
  •  10+ runs scored in the majority of the overs

These statistics clearly demonstrate that the team maintained relentless pressure throughout every phase of the match.
