The Rajasthan Royals bowlers have seized control of the match against Mumbai Indians, creating a challenging situation for their opponents. Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin have been economical, keeping the run rate low and applying pressure.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Nabi provided a brief respite for Mumbai in the final over of the powerplay, scoring 18 runs off Avesh Khan. However, Sandeep Sharma’s dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma within the first two overs has put Mumbai under immense strain.
The early loss of their key batsmen has left Mumbai in a precarious position, and the onus will be on their middle order to rescue them from this precarious position.
