Boult's Stellar Performance Leads Mumbai Indians to Victory

Trent Boult continued his impressive form in IPL 2025, delivering a standout performance for the Mumbai Indians against the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Boult showcased his skills both with the new ball and during the death overs.


Mumbai Indians set a formidable target of 217 runs, and their bowling attack started strong, energized by Boult's sharp opening spell. In the second over, Rajasthan's opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit Boult for two sixes, but the bowler quickly regained his composure.


On the fourth delivery of that over, Boult adjusted his length and bowled at a speed of 139.6 km/h. Jaiswal attempted another big hit but missed, resulting in his stumps being shattered. Boult's exuberant celebration surprised many, as he typically maintains a calm demeanor, but this time he was visibly excited and even gave Jaiswal a send-off.



Despite Jaiswal's explosive form this season, he had an off day, scoring only 13 runs off 6 balls with a strike rate exceeding 216, including two sixes before Boult dismissed him. Boult continued to make an impact by taking out Nitish Rana during the powerplay, finishing his first spell with figures of 2 wickets for 28 runs. Although he conceded some runs early on, those wickets shifted the game's momentum.

Boult struck again later in the match, claiming his third wicket and helping the Mumbai Indians bowl out Rajasthan for a mere 117 runs. His impressive figures of 3 wickets for 28 runs were crucial in securing a commanding 100-run victory for his team.


With this win, the Mumbai Indians solidified their position at the top of the points table, boasting an excellent net run rate. This victory marked their sixth consecutive win, a remarkable turnaround considering they had only managed one win in their first four matches.
