With a 23-ball 48, the Mumbai Indians captain was at the top of his game and helped the side cross the 200-run mark.
Rajasthan never looked on course towards the target and lost wickets at quick intervals. Youngest centurion Vaibhav Suryavanshi couldn't do anything and got out very cheaply. Yashasvi Jasiwal, Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana followed suit and the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under severe pressure. Karn Sharma and Trent Boult took three wickets while Jasprit Bumrah picked up two wickets.
Mumbai Indians have moved to the top of the IPL table with 14 points. They have also improved their NRR, and it will surely help them if any situation arises.
