Affected by rain, this match was reduced to 11-11 overs, but there was no dearth of thrill even in the short match.

Rajasthan Royals, batting first, scored a big score of 150 runs for 3 wickets in 11 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav laid the foundation of this explosive beginning.

During this, the most special moment came when Suryavanshi hit two sixes in the same over of Jasprit Bumrah, one of the best bowlers in the world.

His fearless batting surprised everyone.

After the match, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya praised the young player and also congratulated him with a special gesture. Pandya said, ‘It is amazing to play like this at such a young age. We had discussed a lot about him before the match. The fearlessness with which he bats is praiseworthy. I wish him a bright future.

Mumbai Indians, who set out to chase the target of 150 runs, had a very bad start. Rohit Sharma (5), Suryakumar Yadav (6) and Ryan Rickelton (8) were out early, due to which the team was reduced to 23/3 in 3 overs.

After this, Tilak Verma (14) and Hardik Pandya (9) tried to take over the innings, but Rajasthan bowlers bowled tightly and kept taking wickets at regular intervals. Although Sharfan Rutherford gave some hope by scoring 25 runs in 8 balls, but Sandeep Sharma ended his innings with a brilliant low catch.

Ultimately Mumbai Indians could score only 123 runs for 9 wickets in 11 overs and lost the match. With this victory, Rajasthan Royals presented their strong claim, while Suryavanshi’s innings and Hardik Pandya’s sportsmanlike behavior became the center of discussion.
