IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians Thrash Rajasthan Royals by 100 Runs, Go Top of the Table
Mumbai Indians delivered a clinical all-round performance to crush Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs in Match 50 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The resounding victory not only knocked RR out of playoff contention but also propelled MI to the top of the points table.
Opting to bowl first, RR’s gamble backfired as MI posted a daunting total of 217/2. Openers Ryan Rickelton (61 off 35) and Rohit Sharma (53 off 31) laid the foundation with a brisk 109-run stand. Captain Hardik Pandya (48* off 18) and Suryakumar Yadav (48* off 21) then unleashed a late onslaught, adding 75 runs in the final five overs.
In reply, RR’s chase fell apart quickly. Despite some resistance from Shubham Dubey (15) and Dhruv Jurel (11), they were bundled out for 117 in just 16.1 overs. Trent Boult (3/28), Jasprit Bumrah (2/15), and Karn Sharma (3/23) led the MI bowling assault.
The loss ends RR's playoff hopes, while MI continue their surge with a fifth straight win, showcasing both form and firepower as the tournament nears its climax.
