Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to field first and they made two changes to the playing XI as Tim David and Kumar Kartikeya replaced Dewald Brevis and Jaydev Unadkat Unadkat in the team. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals made no changes to the playing XI and they fielded the same team.

Batting first, RR opening duo of Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal added 26 runs off 27 balls before the latter was dismissed for 15 by spinner Hrithik Shokeen on the second ball of the 5th over.

A small 28 runs partnership off 18 was built between Buttler and Sanju Samson before the latter was dismissed for 16 by debutant Kumar Kartikeya. At the end of the 10 overs, Rajasthan Royals were at 73/2.

Jos Buttler, who was batting very slow, decided to accelerate his innings in the 16th over, which was bowled by spin bowler Hrithik Shokeen.

Buttler smashed sixes on the first ball and second ball to complete his half-century off 48 balls, including, 5 fours and 2 sixes. He didn’t stop there as he smashed two back-to-back sixes on the next two deliveries as well before getting dismissed on the last ball of the over. Buttler’s innings ended at 67 runs off 52 balls, including 5 fours and 4 sixes.

In the end, after the failure of the middle-order, Ravichandran Ashwin played an incredible 21 runs cameo off 9 balls, including 3 fours and one six to help Rajasthan Royals post 158/6 on the board.

Chasing the target, MI skipper Rohit Sharma got out for 2 in the 3rd over, which was bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin. Wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan, who has struggled for runs in the Indian Premier League 2022, got out in the 6th over for 26 runs off 18 balls, which was bowled by Trent Boult and at the end of the powerplay, Mumbai Indians were at 41/2.

Meanwhile, the middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav completed his half-century off 36 balls in the 14th over, which was bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin.

Mumbai Indians lost the wickets of both Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma in the back-to-back overs as Suryakumar was dismissed for 51 by Yuzvendra Chahal in the 15th over and Tilak was dismissed for 35 by Prasidh Krishna in the 16th over.

In the end, Tim David played a good knock and Daniel Sams finished off in style by smashing a six to help Mumbai Indians finally bag a win in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League.

The wounds of the last eight games converted a pretty reasonable chase into a slightly jittery one for #MI. With the monkey off the back, I won't be surprised if we see more powerful performances in the remaining games.

Mumbai Indians ends their 8 match losing streak in IPL 2022 on Rohit Sharma's birthday. A perfect gift for the captain.

— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) April 30, 2022

MI didn't win on Sachin's birthday, but made necessary changes to win anyhow on Rohit's birthday. They thought we won't notice. ?

— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) April 30, 2022

It just didn't feel right that Mumbai Indians didn't have any points in #IPL2022 so far.

The tournament seems more normal now. #MIvRR

— Saurabh Somani (@saurabh_42) April 30, 2022

Maharashtra government has announced 2 lakh cash price to all Mumbai Indians players on their win. #IPL

— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) April 30, 2022

So Mumbai put their best player and best number 3 back to 3 and put a proven finisher into the finishing slot and batting actually clicks?! Wow. This IPL has been full of shocks and surprises

— Dave (@CricketDave27) April 30, 2022

Mumbai Indians won an IPL match after 200+ days.

Poetic justice that Tim David plays a big hand in #MumbaiIndians winning their first game of #IPL2022 after being unfairly dumped early in the season.#RRvsMI #IPL2022

Still trying to understand the logic behind bowling Daryl Mitchell the 7th over. Trent Boult didn’t finish his quota of 4 overs.
