Arjun: "Maximum players in this MI side have won multiple IPL titles. Maximum players in this MI side are regularly playing for India. Maybe, they have lost the thirst or desperation to win an IPL title?"

Jofra Archer to Jasprit Bumrah, FOUR, nicely done! Short of length delivery outside off, Bumrah stands tall and telescopes it over backward point. He opened the bat face and managed to clear the inner ring with ease

Jofra Archer to Trent Boult, out Trent Boult Run Out!! Brilliant stuff from Archer. He first nails the yorker, Boult makes room and jams it down the pitch. Chahar calls for a non-existent single. Archer runs in, collects the ball and takes his time before sending in a direct-hit at the non-striker's end. Boult is nowhere close to making his ground. Trent Boult run out (Jofra Archer) 1(2)

Maestro Manohar: "Eventually, the powerplay turned out to be the difference."

Sandeep Sharma to Shardul Thakur, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Another one bites dust. Thakur is the lastest to walk back and Jadeja walks along with him, hands wrapped around him, all in a friendly manner. Length delivery, right in the slot but Thakur went so hard that he lost his shape, gets a thick top-edge and the ball goes straight up, Jurel comes in and takes it next to the stumps. Shardul Thakur c Dhruv Jurel b Sandeep Sharma 8(7) [4s-1]

Nandre Burger to Naman Dhir, out Caught by Ravi Bishnoi!! That should be the game. Dhir was the last recognised batter and he too departs with 13 balls left. Burger goes pace on and Dhir could not middle his big shot. 143.6ks full delivery at the stumps, Dhir clears his front leg and lofts through the line, straight down Bishnoi's throat at long-on. Naman Dhir c Ravi Bishnoi b Nandre Burger 25(13) [4s-3 6s-1]

Nandre Burger to Naman Dhir, FOUR, smart batting. Dhir is not trying to overhit his shots. He allows this ball to arrive outside off, opens the bat face and slices it over short third. He clears the inner ring comfortably and there's no stopping that

Tushar Deshpande to Sherfane Rutherford, out Caught by Sandeep Sharma!! Deshpande and the Royals are celebrating. Rutherford stands his ground. But reluctantly starts his walk back to the dugout. Excellent catch by Sandeep. Slower ball angled across, there was width on offer and Rutherford went hard on the slash, slices it to short third and the ball was dying on Sandeep, he bends down and scoops it inches above the ground. Third umpire has a look and flashes OUT on the giantscreen. Sherfane Rutherford c Sandeep Sharma b Tushar Deshpande 25(8) [4s-2 6s-2]

Tushar Deshpande to Naman Dhir, FOUR, that's poor execution. Third man is inside the ring and Deshpande offers a short of length delivery outside off, it was pace off but Dhir just had to clear 30 yards, which he does with ease and the ball races away

Ravi Bishnoi to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR, just over Parag. Did he get a fingertip? Bishnoi wasn't happy with the effort. Flighted and drifted across, the length was full enough to play the drive and Rutherford hits it aerially towards extra cover. Evades a leaping Parag on the edge of the circle and collects the boundary

Ravi Bishnoi to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal!! Bishnoi strikes in his first over once again! Did that against GT as well when he removed a well-set Sudarshan, today gets the dangerous Hardik. 101.4ks quicker delivery, but the length is held back, Hardik thinks it is in the slot and lofts through the line. He gets it high on the bat and Jaiswal runs to his left from long-on to take a good catch. He was on the move when he completed the catch. Hardik Pandya c Yashasvi Jaiswal b Ravi Bishnoi 9(6) [4s-2]

Ravi Bishnoi to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, shot! That's more like it from Hardik. Short and outside off, he stays leg-side of the ball and gives himself the space to have a clean flow of the hands, crashes it in front of square and gives sweeper no chance

Tushar Deshpande to Tilak Varma, FOUR, Mumbai Indians need a move on. Deshpande starts with a slower ball - 112.9ks outside off, Tilak fetches it from there and whips it over mid-on, one bounce and over the ropes

Sandeep Sharma to Rohit Sharma, out Lbw!! That's crashing into the base of middle-stump. Not sure why Rohit reviewed that. Mumbai Indians are three down and lose a review as well. This is brilliant from Sandeep. He has brought Jurel up to the stumps, then attacks the sticks. He's bowled a perfect yorker and Rohit premeditated the lap, gets into a tangle and falls over while playing the shot, misses it completely and is struck on the back leg. He had shuffled across and was hit in-line with the stumps. Simple decision for Mohit Krishnadas but Rohit still decided to send it upstairs. Rohit Sharma lbw b Sandeep Sharma 5(6)

Nandre Burger to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! Gone! This is a massive wicket. Suryakumar departs cheaply. Burger roars looking at SKY. 125.5ks pace off short of length delivery, Suryakumar swivels to play the pull but since there's no pace, he does not get the power to clear deep backward square. Archer bends down, sits on his knees and reverse cups it safely. This is turning into an excellent start for the Royals. Suryakumar Yadav c Jofra Archer b Nandre Burger 6(3) [6s-1]

Nandre Burger to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, well, well! First ball and Suryakumar plays the lap. No sighters in such a short game. 143.2ks leg-lined, Suryakumar sits down inside the line and uses the pace on offer to lap it all the way over fine leg

Jofra Archer to Ryan Rickelton, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Archer strikes back! Excellent catch from Dhruv Jurel. That ball went high and took some time to come down, but Jurel takes his cap off to get a better sight of the ball, runs back a few yards and hangs on with both hands. 140.2ks back of a length, angled across the left-hander and Rickelton attempted his favourite heave to the leg-side, gets more of the top-edge and then Jurel comes into the picture. Ryan Rickelton c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 8(4) [6s-1]

Jofra Archer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, there goes Rickelton. First for Mumbai Indians. 138.8ks length delivery, around middle and leg, Rickelton picks it nonchalantly and desposts it into the deep mid-wicket stand

MI unlikely to overtake RR's powerplay score

The Royals scored 59 runs in the powerplay (3.2 overs). Rohit has negative match-ups against Jofra, Sandeep, Bishnoi and Jadeja, who have all dismissed him multiple times in T20 cricket. Even Burger has dismissed Rickelton three times in 6 innings. Expect RR to restrict MI to a score around 45 in the PP and pick at least 1 wicket. View Complete Forecast...

Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR, full and outside off stump, in the slot and Jaiswal gets under it to smack it over cover. He does the fist pump as he absolutely enjoyed thrashing the ball tonight.

Maulik Trivedi: "Hetymer's innings could be the difference between winning and losing in this game. As a finisher, it's a crime to play more than 6 balls at a strike rate less than 100 in an 11-over game."

Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR, smart! Finally Jaiswal connects with the scoop. He knew Shardul Thakur was only going to try the wide yorker, so he moves off-side to unsettle the bowler and the bowler bangs it into the wicket to make it easy with the scoop. Fine to the right of Ryan Rickelton for four more

Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR, that's a full toss wide of off stump. And tell you what, full credit to Yashasvi Jaiswal for trying to open the face and guide the ball in the final ball of the innings when it was easy for him to swing too hard given the situation of the game. Third man up so he just guides it to the left of that fielder and gets four

Jasprit Bumrah to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX, that is muscled! Even Bumrah can miss yorkers folks. It's such a tough ball and the moment he saw the ball make contact with the bat he threw his back in disappointment that he offered a slot ball. Jaiswal sends it soaring over the sightscreen and someone in the stands dropped the catch

AM Ghazanfar to Riyan Parag, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! This is flat, long-on in business and taken. Parag thought he could have another six down the ground. Cleared the front leg out of the way and attempted the six, but the ball went off the bottom of the bat and stayed well inside the rope. Riyan Parag c Tilak Varma b AM Ghazanfar 20(10) [4s-1 6s-2]

Hardik Pandya to Riyan Parag, SIX, in the air, Shardulll, Shardullll and it's just over his acrobatic leap! Full toss as Hardik Pandya misses the yorker, Parag whipped that with style so it went high than long. Shardul moved to the right at deep mid-wicket. He was in play for a good part but he couldn't get his hands on it despite a dive. In fact replays show he got hands to it but couldn't hold on or parry the ball back into the playing area

Big finish

RR are going at 13.86 RPO. With Hetmyer and Ferreira to follow, RR will be eyeing a score in the vicinity of 150. View Complete Forecast...

Jasprit Bumrah to Riyan Parag, FOUR, this is so cunning from Riyan. Played that so, so late with angled bat. Oh wow, he's actually defended that ball late and wasn't the usual guide. The kind of defence that Kane Williamson plays so late to pinch a single to third man. Bumrah smiles and walks back as he knows it was a smart shot

Shardul Thakur to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! And they have bought this wicket with some smart field placing. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi covers his face in disappointment that he's picked deep extra cover. This is a full wide slot ball, Vaibhav absolutely nailed this hard. The problem was he hit it too flat. Full marks to Tilak to having to leap to the left and take this overhead despite the speed on the ball. The momentum takes him slightly backwards but the rope was still a distance away. Great innings and a good catch from Tilak. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Tilak Varma b Shardul Thakur 39(14) [4s-1 6s-5]

jerome: "At this rate, these two could still end up with a full T20 score."

RR vs MI, IPL 2026: Toss & Team Update (Hindi)

RR vs MI, IPL 2026: Toss & Team Update

Ravi Bishnoi’s change in technique has sharpened his skills: Manoj Tiwary

RK: MI will have to fit Will Jack into the team. He won 4 Man of the Match awards in the T20 World Cup.

Rajeev PG: Rajasthan Royals' strength lies in balance: fearless openers, crafty middle-order, and bowlers who deliver under pressure. They've mastered the art of nurturing young talent while staying tactically sharp. A team that proves strategy beats hype.

Ambati Dinesh Sai: "What is the cut-off time?" -- 10:56 PM IST for a 5-over match.

How Many Runs Can Vaughan Score?

Pratyush Mahapatra: RR have backed up and prepared their squad really well. Even after letting go of Sanju Samson and missing Sam Curran, they still have a very powerful batting lineup. If their bowling unit clicks this season, they could also be strong contenders for the IPL 2026 title.

Anshu Ishwar: Which is the most destructive batting unit in IPL 2026? Have to consider depth, quality and most importantly recent form. According to me it is RCB for sure, definitely would like to consider others' views too.
