Rajasthan Royals extended their dominance in the IPL 2024 season by clutching a nine-wicket comprehensive victory against Mumbai Indians earlier today in Jaipur. 

MI recovered well from a horror start to put 179 runs on board at the end of the first innings. However, RR’s in-form batting was too good enough for MI to handle, and the rain gods helped the home side as well as Royals, who propelled to a dominating nine-wicket victory after Jaiswal’s phenomenal century.

Here's the timeline of how RR vs MI panned out in Jaipur-

RR vs MI Highlights: Sandeep Sharma’s Five-Wicket Haul Jolts MI

Hardik Pandya’s plan to bat first in Jaipur backfired as Sandeep Sharma’s fiery spell on return jolted the renowned top order of Rohit, Ishan and SKY. MI were reduced to 52/4 before Nehal Wadhera and Tilak Verma pulled things back with a 99-runs partnership.

Sandeep Sharma had a special night on comeback from injury as he rattled MI’s destructive lineup by claiming an impressive five wicket haul. His victims were Ishan, SKY, Tilak, Tim David and Gerald Coetzee.

RR vs MI Highlights: Yuzvendra Chahal Scripts History!

In a special feat, Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed Mohammad Nabi to become the first bowler in IPL history to take 200 wickets. Nabi rushed for Chahal’s flighted delivery, and the leading edge went back to Chahal, who didn’t make any mistakes to take a clean catch and register his name in the history books of the tournament.

RR vs MI Highlights: Yashasvi Jaiswal Leads RR Chase With Gritty Half-Century

With 180 runs to chase on the board, the destructive opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler showed intent in the powerplay before rain played spoilsport. Regardless, Jaiswal continued his onslaught after the resumption of play to score a much-needed fifty to fuel RR’s chase. While Jos couldn’t stick around for long, captain Sanju Samson supported Jaiswal from the other end and the duo made a mockery of MI’s bowling unit.

Yashasvi Jaiswal chased records with a sensational hundred against Mumbai Indians to become the only player under 23 years of age to have scored two tons in IPL. His fiery conversion helped RR conclude the chase with 8 balls to spare and also record a dominating nine-wicket victory.

MI were completely outclassed by RR’s batting prowess, and after a short burst of rain, things went from bad to worse for the bowlers. Regardless, RR will take the win to strengthen its position at the top of the table. On the other hand, MI’s playoffs are now hanging by a thread with just six points in eight games.
