Mumbai Indians are finally on the board with a five-wicket win over a strong Rajasthan Royals side.
It was another thriller that went right down to the wire. In spite of the fact that RR did reasonably well defending a insignificant 158 on a great batting track, Mumbai Indians got over the line this time around to win their maiden win in IPL 2022.

Riley Meredith and Jasprit Bumrah were brilliant towards the end as RR failed to play the big shots. Making his IPL debut, Kumar Kartikeya also bowled brilliantly
MI’s top-order troubles proceeded as captain Rohit Sharma perished for two on his 35th birthday. Whereas Ishan Kishan started off pleasantly and played a few fine shots within the powerplay overs, Trent Boult dismissed him for a 18-ball 26. The stick was then passed on to in-form duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, who didn’t come up short to impress. Both dashers paced their innings to flawlessness and included 81 runs for the third wicket.
