Brilliant striking by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

The total number of overs has been cut short due to the weather conditions, but the firepower in the Royals' batting line-up remains the same. Even under the wet conditions, they lacked no intensity in their opening combinations. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi started their innings in a pure aggressive way.

The young pair of openers needed only 5 overs to complete 80 runs for their team. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's fireworks did not sustain for a long period as the Mumbai Indians' experienced seam bowling all-rounder helped the team to get rid of the batter. The Bihar-born dismissed for 39 runs, while the strike rate was 278.57.

He gained the amount of runs and strike rate by smashing five 6s and one 4. Vaibhav's dismissal, though, was not enough to slow down the run rate of Rajasthan as Yashasvi Jaiswal remained on the pitch to complete his half-century.

The captain of the team, Riyan Parag, also played an impactful knock from the middle-order, 20 off 10, strike rate 200.00. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult were the most expensive bowlers for the Mumbai Indians as both of them leaked 22 runs each in one over.

Hardik Pandya returned to action for the Mumbai Indians

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya has returned to the field after missing their previous game against the Delhi Capitals. Pandya missed the match because of illness, not injury.

Today, the captain and the seam bowling all-rounder of the Mumbai Indians delivered a couple of overs and conceded an economy rate of 8.5 without claiming any wickets.
