Before Bumrah's entry, the Royals were already struggling. Chahar dismissed Vaibhav Suryavanshi in his first over, and Trent Boult took out Yashasvi Jaiswal after conceding two sixes, followed by the dismissal of Nitish Rana. Royals' captain Riyan Parag chose to bowl first after winning the toss, but Mumbai's opening partnership of 116 runs set a solid foundation. Rickelton scored 61 runs, while Rohit contributed 53.
The momentum continued with Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav, who formed a rapid unbeaten partnership of 94 runs off just 44 balls. Both players scored 48 runs each, showcasing aggressive batting. Mumbai finished with a total of 217 runs for 2 wickets, marking the highest score ever recorded at this venue in IPL history. Suryakumar's performance brought his total to 475 runs, placing him at the top of the Orange Cap leaderboard, surpassing B Sai Sudharsan.
Mumbai entered this match on a high note, having won five consecutive games following two initial losses. Conversely, a defeat for Rajasthan would likely eliminate them from playoff contention.
