MI vs RR IPL 2024 Highlights: Riyan Parag fifty leads Royals to 6-wicket win over Mumbai

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: RR go top of the table with that victory, having won all three games they have played thus far. MI are bottom of the table, having lost all three games they have played thus far. The five-time champions' famously slow start might just be getting too slow for comfort, as it often has in the last four years. Their fans had their heart's fill booing Hardik Pandya but there was indication of the tide changing during his innings. However, eventually the chants for Rohit and the boos returned, so much that the team decided to switch off the PA system towards the end of the match. But they didn't need to do that, as the crowd had largely left the stadium almost as soon as Parag hit the winning runs. A bad start to the season, coupled with a highly toxic home atmosphere for their captain. MI really are experiencing something that probably no other franchise has in the history of the IPL. Do join us tomorrow now, when RCB host LSG. See ya!

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Trent Boult says that getting wickets in the first over is never a certainty in this format but it was nice that he got them. They created early pressure and he says it was nice to take some wickets and glad the result went their way. On the Rohit wicket, Boult says that he has played against him a lot over the years and it was just about trying to do something different. It rarely comes off, you try something different and it works, but great when it does. Boult says that Burger is a great find. Bowls with great skill and plays with his heart on his sleeves. Sandeep obviously missed out but he'll play a big role in the season. Excited to be part of this bowling attack.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Samson admits that the toss was the game changer. He says that the wicket was too sticky to start off with and the skill of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger. He said that he expected Boult to deliver snce he has so much experience, although even he was surprised by the fact that they got five or six wickets early on. "We all do our roles and move on. Someone like R Ashwin knew we had a good powerplay so he didn't go for wickets, just kept it tight. So it's about teamwork," he said.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Not too many boos this time but that is probably because of the fact that there aren't too many people remaining at the ground. Also, the stadium PA system has been switched off. Pandya says that MI didn't start the way they wanted to it was a tough night. They were in a decent position to give them a chance to get to 150 or 160 but he admits that his wicket changed it and allowed RR to get more into the game. Pandya says that he doesn't have any complaints about the pitch, there should be something for the bowlers as well sometimes. But it was unexpected. It's all about doing the right things. Results, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. “I don't think much surprises me anymore. But as a group we believe we can pull off a lot of better things going forward and we just need to be more disciplined and show more courage,” he said.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: He swings at the next ball as well, top edge and it goes over Ishan Kishan to the boundary. That's the winning runs. Parag finishes unbeaten on 54 off 39, Dubey at the other end on 8 off 6. A spirited opening spell from Jasprit Bumrah, Kwena Maphaka and Akash Madhwal helped MI keep RR from running away to victory inside the first 11 odd overs. But Parag was masterful in the way he handled the chase and saw his side over the line. Boos rang out around the Wankhede stadium, this is a venue that is known for so many famous moments in the history of the Indian cricket team and the Mumbai Indians. But today, the atmosphere turned toxic in a way that has rarely been seen in the history of this hallowed ground.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Coetzee comes in for the 16th over, Parag sends the first ball over cover for a six. Then he pulls the second over midwicket for another and that gets him to his second consecutive half-century. It ahs come in 38 balls. What a season this boy is having!

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: RR still have a chance to win by a giant margin and they still have Riyan Parag out there. At the other end is impact sub Shubham Dubey. RR need 25 to win off the last six overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Right, RR are taking it slow here, there will probably not be too much NRR nectar for them at the end of it all and credit to the MI bowlers and fielders for that.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: MI 73/3 in 10 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Buttler pulls it straight to the fielder at fine leg. Madhwal has dismissed the two senior-most batters in the RR lineup. MI really putting some pressure here.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 48/3 in 6.3 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals:... but MI won't be too happy about that because they would have hoped for Bumrah to get a wicket when he bowled his third over. Instead, he has gone three overs without a wicket, despite coming painfully close to one so many times. MI haven't let RR get away in the powerplay thanks to Bumrah, Maphaka and Madhwal. Madhwal to continue for the seventh. Riyan Parag on strike on six off two, Buttler on 12 off 14.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 46/2 in 6 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Akash Madhwal comes in to bowl the fifth after Bumrah bowls the fourth over. Buttler off the strike first ball and then Madhwal sends in the 2nd ball to Samson slightly short. The RR captain looking to cut with absolutely no foot movement at all, under edge and stumps. Lazy, lazy shot from the RR captain and it has given the opposition a look in.

Samson b Madhwal 12 (10)

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 42/2 in 4.2 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Maphaka started the over off with an absolute peach to Buttler, full outside off swinging in and fizzing past Buttler's outside edge. Maphaka then goes for a yorker, misses it by a centimetre and Buttler sends it through cover for a boundary. A single off the next ball and MI appeal for an LBW against Samson off the fourth. Samson gets some width after that and sends it through point. The last is slightly fuller and Samson drives it square for a second consecutive boundary. Samson on eight off as many, Buttler on five off four.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 30/1 in 3 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Seven runs came off that over but make no mistake, Bumrah had Samson dancing to his tunes. Buttler gets off strike first ball after Bumrah had sent one wide due to it moving too much. Then he has Samson searching and searching for the ball and it kept beating his outside edge. The fourth delivery moved too much down the leg side and beat Ishan Kishan as well to go behind for five wides.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 17/1 in 2 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Finally, MI ditch the idea of getting Pandya to bowl the second over and Bumrah comes in from the other end. He is bowling to Jos Buttler, with whom he had that almighty bust-up if you remember during the Lord's Test in 2021 which led to a ridiculous tail-ender's stand between Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. Two international heavyweights going head to head.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: 17-year-old Kwena Maphaka has his first IPL wicket and it is that of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal had hit fours off the previous two balls but lobs the last ball straight into the hands of David at cover.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: RR 10/1 in 1 over

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Kwena Maphaka to bowl the first over for MI, Yashasvi Jaiswal is on strike with Jos Buttler at the other end. So what's it going to be then? Will RR fly to a third consecutive win, will MI make them sweat all the way to the last over of the game or will MI pull off a miracle. Surely, surely Bumrah has to bowl at least two overs in the first seven.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Yuzvendra Chahal says that it is a good wicket. He said that he backed himself to get the desired result with the Pandya wicket, for which he had sent one in on the slot and deceived the batter with the turn. "In this format I know we can go for hits and wickets in others but our team wanted wickets at that stage and I went for it. There was a bit of dew after 16th over but we need to have a good first six," he said.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: RR can get their hands on some very sweet NRR nectar if the likes of Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal properly fire today. It can also help put these MI fans out of their misery.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: The Wankhede crowd is as flat as the road on Marine Drive at the moment. Jasprit Bumrah, who holds the record for most runs in a Test match over, remember, has scored two runs in six balls. Akash Madhwal on strike and he has scored one in two.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: MI 111/7 in 16 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Now MI do have a pretty good score on board, if you ignore the wickets column and RR would know just how important it is to get Tim David now because this is exactly around the time when he is most effective in a game. RR do know all that and so Samson decides to bowl out Boult in the 16th.

MI vs RR IPL Live Score: MI 102/7 in 15 overs

MI vs RR IPL Live Score 2024, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals: Chahal entices with a delivery that is flighted and wide outside off, Varma takes the bait. Edge and caught quite well by Ashwin at short third man.
