  While the dismissal was a setback, it served as a reminder of the challenges young players face in the high-pressure world of IPL cricket.

MI bowlers force a RR batting meltdown 

A dominant bowling performance from the visiting side dismantled the Rajasthan Royals’ batting lineup during their chase of 218. The collapse began with Vaibhav, who was dismissed for a two-ball duck—just one match after scoring a brilliant century.

 

Yashasvi Jaiswal showed brief intent with a few attacking shots but was removed for 13 in the powerplay by Trent Boult. Such was the effectiveness of the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers that no RR batter managed to cross the 20-run mark. Karn Sharma spearheaded the attack with three wickets, while Boult and Jasprit Bumrah picked up two each. Deepak Chahar and Hardik Pandya chipped in with a wicket apiece to seal a clinical bowling effort.
