Pollard departs
Kuldeep Sen to Pollard: OUT! Would you believe it? Pollard is holed out. MI still need 4 runs off 5 balls. Drama more drama. MI have just forgotten how to close out a match it seems.

David smashes consecutive fours
Tim David is one strong, powerful man. Just brute force on this occasion. Rides the bounce and smashes it through covers for a boundary. The previous one was an inside edge for boundary but MI wont mind. They are set for their first victory of IPL 2022.

Tim David shows his might
Chahal to David: SIX! Whacked out of the park. Where was this David? Hiding in the dugout for all this while. Tossed up from Chahal, David uses his long reach to just smash it over long on.

Both the set batters dismissed
Prasidh To Tilak: OUT! Just what Rajasthan needed, quick wickets. A length ball, on off. Varma looks to heave but the ball goes off the inner half of the bat and to long on where Riyan Parag comes forward and completes the wicket.
- 30 Apr 2022, 11:05:50 PM IST
Chahal gets Suryakumar
Chahal to Suryakumar: OUT! TAKEN! Chahal gets his man in the end but this was an unnecessary shot from Suryakumar Yadav. Tilak had already hit a six and the required rate was just about 7, there was no need to take Chahal on. He tries to hit the leg-spinner over long on but doesn't clear the boundary. The Royals have a sniff now.
MI need 37 off 30 balls.

Tilak joins the party
Kuldeep to Tilak: FOUR! Not where Varma intended it to go but he will take that! A length ball, around leg. Varma stays back and looks to whip it through the leg side but it goes off the inner half of the bat towards fine leg for a boundary.
- 30 Apr 2022, 10:42:00 PM IST
Suryakumar breaks the shackles
Chahal to Suryakumar: SIX! Wow what a shot that was. He tried that shot previously but missed it but this time he nails it. Gets underneath the ball slogs sweeps it over the deep square leg fielder for a six.

Boult gets Kishan
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kishan goes now! On a length and angling around off, there is some extra bounce. Kishan looks to pull but gets a top edge. The ball balloons to the keeper, Sanju Samson who doesn't have to move much. A simple catch is taken and both the openers are fallen now.
- 30 Apr 2022, 10:02:25 PM IST
Two fours from Kishan
Ishan Kishan is in the mood today. Smasshes Prasidh Krishna for a couple of fours. Kishan needs to stay in the middle for as long as posssible for he has the ability to take the pitch out of the equation.

Kishan on fire
It's a different Ishan Kishan that has walked out to bat today. The one that we know, who was lost for the first half of this season. What clean hitting from the left-hander against Prasidh Krishna.

Ashwin doesn't spare Bumrah
Even Bumrah is going the journey. Ashwin is in some mood today. He is auditioning for the finisher's role in the Royals' side. How beautifully he has played with Bumrah's mind and hit him for those two fours in the penultimate over.
RR 155/5 after 19 overs
- 30 Apr 2022, 09:09:45 PM IST
Ashwin playing a gem
3 balls a four and now a six. Who says Ravichandran Ashwin can't hit big in the slog overs? Superb stuff from the all-rounder. Brings all his experience into play, predicts the length and speed of Meredith and gets the big shots going.

Fifty for Jos Buttler
Shokeen to Buttler: SIX, SIX! SIX! Oh what a player Jos Buttler is. Just when we were worried about his timing in this match. He sticks on the the young off-spinner Hrithik Shokeen. Slams him for a hat-trick of sixes and also gets to his fifty.

RR choking MI
Not often do you see Buttler struggling to hit the boundaries but this has been one such night. A combination of good bowling by MI and the slowness of the wicket one would have to say here.
RR 87/3 after 13 overs
- 30 Apr 2022, 08:28:44 PM IST
Rilley Meredith keeps it tight
Good over for MI! is having a good match so far. He has troubled Buttler with his pace and also the slower ones. The right-arm seamer has given only 8 runs in his 2 overs son far.

Sanju Samson falls
OUT! Debutant Kumar Kartikeya gets the big wicket of RR captain Sanju Samson. Just the story of Samson. Gets off to a flyer and then hits a half-tracker straight to the fielder in the deep. Oh he would be mighty disappointed. Exactly the opposite scenes in the MI camp. They are chuffed for the youngster Kartikeya, who has his maiden IPL wicket.

Buttler hit on the helmet
Meredith to Buttler: OUCH! That must have hurt. A 140 km/h bouncer hits Buttler straight on the helmet. He was through with his shot early there. It appears to be a slow wicket. Buttler is having some treatment, never nice when you are hit on the cricket field.
- 30 Apr 2022, 07:57:11 PM IST
Buttler attacks
Back-to-back fours from Jos Buttler. He attacks the young MI off-spinner just after he had removed the England keeper's opening partner.

2 fours and a drop

Chance? No, it's a four!
Bumrah to Buttler: FOUR! Oh how costly will that turn out to be? Daniel Sams misjudged it. He ran it from the fine leg boundary and the ball went over his head. It would have been regulation catch had he stayed on his mark. The ball landed right on the half volley on boundary hoardings. It results in a boundary. But a what good bouncer from Bumrah straight up to Buttler.
RR 7/0 after 1.4 overs

Birthday boy Rohit Sharma speaks
Preparation has been good, most of it has been done before the tournament. Hopefully we have some fun in the middle, that's what we have been missing. We want to try and see how we enjoy ourselves. It's important to stick together as a group: MI captain Rohit Sharma at the toss.

RR vs MI Live Score: Pitch report
This pitch - it has been used before, so it doesn't look uniform in the grass covering. Looks a little bit patchy and it's dusty. The spinners are going to come into their own today. This pitch will not be easy to bat on. The ball will not come on at a uniform pace, it'll be two-paced: Graeme Swann with the pitch report.
- 30 Apr 2022, 06:47:35 PM IST
How long will MI continue with Pollard?
Kieron Pollard has been an absolute legend for the Mumbai Indians, make no mistakes about that but the West Indies' all-rounder has been rather inconsistent for the last two-three seasons. Pollard has scored only 90 runs at an average of 16 and his strike rate of 127 has been an even bigger worry.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indian Live Score
Yuzvendra Chahal with 18 wickets has hogged most of the limelight but the experienced Ravichandran Ashwin has slowly but surely managed to make his presence felt. In the last four games for RR Ashwin has bowled tight line and has picked 6 wickets at an average of 20 and strikes after every 16 balls.
- 30 Apr 2022, 06:31:14 PM IST
Is there a case for Tim David's return?
A few eye brows were raised when Mumbai Indians shelled out ₹8.25 crore for Tim David. The Australian-born right-hander plays for Singapore and has shown his might in the Big Bash League. But what was even more baffling was MI's decision to play him only two matches. The big hitter could well do with some backing from the MI management.
