Mumbai Indians Innings

The match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals gave us quite a bit of entertainment.  Rohit Sharma continued his good form with a well made 35 from 23 balls which included 3 sixes and 2 fours. 

The star of the show was Suryakumar Yadav though.  His 79 from 47 balls which consisted of 11 fours and 2 sixes propelled the Mumbai Indians score to 193. 
The Rajasthan Royals bowlers had a very hard time controlling him. It was a joy watching him in full flow yesterday.

Rajasthan Royals Innings

Now the Rajasthan Royals have a very good team but somehow things are not clicking for them.  

Their highest run-scorer for this match was Jos Butler who played quite well for his 70  but eventually lost his wicket due to a brilliant catch from Kieron Pollard. 

Talking about fielding, Anukul Roy also took a good catch to dismiss Lomror, but the fact of the matter is in this IPL Rajasthan royals have been heavily relying mostly on the top 3 of Jos Butler, Steve Smith, and Sanju Samson.  Once they 3 are back in the pavilion you know Rajasthan Royals have a high chance of losing the game if the opposition has made a good score. Hopefully, things will get better for them in the coming matches.  

Let's give some credit to the Mumbai Indians bowling though.  They have managed to keep things tight whenever they have bowled this season.  Jasprit Bumrah took a 4 wicket haul yesterday which rattled the Royal's batting lineup. Rajasthan Royals were all out for 136 runs.
