Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Live Score, IPL 2024: MI Strike Early, RR Suffer Setback In 126-Run Chase | Cricket News

MI vs RR Live Score: MI 125/9 in 20 overs

A late effort from Akash Madhwal and Jasprit Bumrah means that Mumbai Indians were not all out and they ended at 125/9 in 20 overs. An incredible bowling show from Rajasthan Royals with special shows from Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult. Advantage RR at the moment!

MI vs RR Live Score: Tim David departs

The final hope of Mumbai Indians departs as Tim David is caught in the deep off Nandre Burger. A slog from the batter and who else but the man of the moment Trent Boult who took the catch. A tough day for the home side!

MI 115/9 after 19 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Three wickets for Chahal

Third wicket for Yuzvendra Chahal and Mumbai Indians are struggling so hard. Gerald Coetzee was baited into playing a risky shot and once again, Shimron Hetmyer was the one who completed the catch. Tim David is still out in the middle and all eyes are on him at the moment.

MI 115/8 after 18 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Onus on Tim David

The entire responsibility now lies on Tim David to provide a good finish to Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions have looked like a shadow of their past self and without a total above 150, it will be very difficult for them to register their first win of IPL 2024.

MI 109/7 after 15.3 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Tilak departs

Second wicket for Yuzvendra Chahal and it is the big one of Tilak Varma. He looked in good touch but another loose shot and Ravichandran Ashwin completed the catch this time. MI have lost seven wickets under 100 and this is just getting worse for the home team.

MI 97/7 after 14 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Six wickets down

A tremendous catch from Shimron Hetmyer and Mumbai Indians lose their sixth wicket. Avesh Khan is the bowler to claim the wicket as the gamble to send Piyush Chawla ahead of Tim David did not work for the hosts. This is just horrible from Hardik Pandya and Co.

MI 88/6 after 11.5 overs

MI vs RR Live Score:

Yuzvendra Chahal has done the trick for Rajasthan Royals. Hardik Pandya went for another big shot but this did not cross the boundary. Instead, it ended up falling to Rovman Powell who completed a somewhat tough attempt to hand RR another wicket.

MI 78/5 after 10.2 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Hardik booed at the toss

There was no letup in crowd hostility towards Hardik Pandya with fans booing the Mumbai Indians skipper as he walked out for toss in their IPL match against Rajasthan Royals, even as chants of ‘Rohit… Rohit’ reverberated across the Wankhede Stadium.

Pandya was booed by a section of the crowd before the toss when he was doing rounds of the field as a warm-up exercise.

The flamboyant all-rounder was then booed again when his named was announced at the time of the toss, to which Pandya only smiled as loud chants in support of the former Mumbai skipper Rohit filled the venue.

The jeers continued as Pandya began speaking after losing the toss to Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Sanju Samson, forcing presenter Sanjay Manjrekar to ask the crowd to “behave”.

MI vs RR Live Score: Comeback loading?

Things have settled down a bit thanks to Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya going hammer and tongs against the Rajasthan Royals bowlers. The aggressive approach has helped in bringing back the crowd in their favour and now, these two need to build on their start in order to give some hope to the hosts.

MI 59/4 after 7 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Hardik on the attack

The situation may be dire but there is no stopping MI skipper Hardik Pandya. An array of positive shots and this is just the approach that MI need at the moment. Three boundaries in the Nandre Burger and slight respite for the home team.

MI 46/4 after 6 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Tilak, Hardik key

The hopes and dreams of Mumbai Indians will completely be on these two batters – Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma. They are quality batters but against a Rajasthan Royals bowling attack that is looking extremely dangerous, this can be a tough task for them.

MI 30/4 after 5 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: MI lose fourth wicket

This is a collapse at the moment! Ishan Kishan looked in good touch but Nandre Burger has dismissed him for 16 and Mumbai Indians are in deep trouble. A loose shot from the left-hander and another catch for Sanju Samson behind the stumps.

MI 26/4 after 4,2 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Boult strikes again

Third wicket and it is Trent Boult once again. This is probably the most perfect start that Rajasthan Royals could have hoped for. A huge edge from Dewald Brevis and Nandre Burger was placed perfectly to complete the catch.

MI 16/3 after 3 overs

MI vs RR Live Score: Rohit out for a duck

Rohit Sharma departs for a duck as Sanju Samson completes a great catch behind the wicket. Naman Dhir also loses his wicket in the first over itself as Trent Boult continues his tremendous form. What a start for Rajasthan Royals!

MI 1/2 after 1 over.

MI vs RR Live Score: We are underway

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan to begin their innings for Mumbai Indians while Rajasthan Royals have gone with Trent Boult. Three good balls to start proceedings and it looks like MI will take a cautious approach at the start.

MI vs RR Live Score: Big match for Rohit

This will be a huge game for Rohit Sharma as well. The veteran India batter had a couple of good starts in the tournament but with the team not winning a single game till now and playing their first game at home, the stage is set for the India skipper to play a big innings.

MI vs RR Live Score: Mumbai crowd asked to behave

Sanjay Manjrekar asked the Mumbai crowd to ‘behave’ as they were making a lot of sound during the toss. This is an interesting start to the match which is Hardik’s first as a captain at home and it will be interesting to see how the crowd behaves.

MI vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Hardik Pandya said at the toss

“We were planning to bowl first. It’s quite exciting to be a part of this game. We always look forward to the future, need to follow the process. Looking forward to playing a brand of cricket everyone enjoys. Playing the same team.”

MI vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Sanju Samson said at the toss

“We want to bowl first. The wicket looks fresh, it’s the first game of the season, will get help for the fast bowlers. We would like to keep on doing the same things. Sandeep misses out, he is not fit. Burger comes in.”

MI vs RR Live Score: Toss

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl against Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2024 match on Monday. 

MI vs RR Live Score: Pitch report

“It’s pitch number 7. 63m and 65m square boundaries respectively, 74m down the ground. This surface wasn’t used last year, the two tracks adjacent to it were used. If you bat first, you need to score big here. It’s a red soil pitch, looks great and has a generous covering of grass. You are going to see a lot of runs. Spinners won’t be effective,” reckons Brian Lara.

MI vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Dhruv Jurel said before the match

“Feeling good, did well in the Tests, the transition is different from red-ball to white-ball cricket, but that’s what you expect as a professional. The confidence gained playing for India has helped me, I want to contribute and help my team win. We have played well in the 2 matches, someone or the other is contributing for the team, either with the ball or with the bat.”

MI vs RR Live Score: RR’s strong batting line-up

Rajasthan Royals have started their IPL 2024 campaign with two back-to-back victories. Despite a mediocre show from their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, RR have found solace in their skipper Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag, who have played top knocks for them. They will now to deliver a similar performance in today’s clash. 

MI vs RR Live Score: MI seek improvement

A big score is due from Rohit Sharma who has provided strong starts to Mumbai but what they truly need is Hardik Pandya to get his decisions right. Pandya has evidently not used Jasprit Bumrah to the best way possible and Mumbai Indians will have a chance to iron out such flaws. Bumrah and Piyush Chawla bring the element of experience to the table in the MI bowling attack which has shown trust on local boy Shams Mulani, who is relatively new at the IPL stage but immensely experienced when it comes to playing at the Wankhede Stadium.

MI vs RR Live Score: MI to face the mighty RR

Even though Mumbai Indians enjoy a 4-1 head-to-head record in their last five meetings with Rajasthan Royals, the home side will have a tough task at hand given Sanju Samson’s team has turned up all guns blazing to begin their IPL season with two wins.

MI vs RR Live Score: MI eye first win

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are currently at the bottom of the points table with two defeats in as many matches. Under-pressure Hardik Pandya will be eager to clinch MI’s first win of the season at their home ground against Rajasthan Royals.
