Mumbai's sixth straight win gives them top position and knocks out Royals
Mumbai Indians 217 for 2 (Rickelton 61, Rohit 53, Suryakumar 48*, Hardik 48*) beat Rajasthan Royals 117 (Archer 30, Boult 3-28, Karn 3-23, Bumrah 2-15) by 100 runs.
Mumbai Indians (MI) came into this game having never won in Jaipur since 2012. They must not have liked that very much because first, they posted the joint-highest IPL total at this ground, then trounced Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 100 runs and finally got back up on their perch on top of the points table.
RR, meanwhile, were knocked out of the playoffs race.
The first three overs were eerily quiet. Just 16 runs came off them and Rohit Sharma survived an lbw dismissal thanks to a very late call for DRS. "Ooooooh YESSSS," he said, throwing his head back and smiling as he saw green instead of red on ball-tracking.
