Rajasthan Royals (RR) had a great outing with the bat after electing to bat first against Mumbai Indians (MI). RR posted a humongous score of 212-7. MI skipper Rohit Sharma was quite dejected as the bowlers conceded 69 runs in the last 5 overs and scalped 3 wickets as well. Rohit perhaps made a mistake by keeping only one over of Jofra Archer for the slog overs as Arshad Khan gave away 31 runs in the last 2 overs but also took a couple of wickets. 

RR’s flamboyant left-handed batter Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a fiery century and amassed 124 runs in 62 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal was in beast mode as he struck 16 fours & 8 huge sixes. Apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal, not a single batter scored 20-odd runs which was quite surprising.

MI gave away 25 extras which is unacceptable in modern cricket. The veteran leg spinner Piyush Chawla was the pick of the bowlers who scalped a couple of wickets and gave away only 34 runs in his 4 overs spell. The trio of Cameron Green, Jofra Archer & Riley Meredith were taken to the cleaners.

While chasing the target of 213 runs, MI had a pretty decent start to their run chase as they scored 12 runs in the first over against Trent Boult. Sandeep Sharma, the right-arm fast bowler was bowling the 2nd over. Wicket-keeper Sanju Samson came up to the stumps, on the last delivery of Sandeep Sharma’s over Rohit Sharma went a bit across & tried to play the shot toward the covers region but missed the ball completely and got cleaned up.

MI skipper Rohit Sharma would be disappointed as his scratchy run continues in IPL 2023. Rohit Sharma was dismissed on 3 runs in 5 balls and at the end of 2 overs, MI’s score was 14-1. RR would be pumped up as Rohit Sharma could have inflicted a lot of damage.
