The Early Spring season 2 is happening, but fans have one request - 'don't change the actors'
RR could never get going in chase
Last match's hero Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for a second-ball duck and RR could never really get going. By the tie powerplay ended, half of home side was back in the dugout for just 62 runs on the board.
The chase was never going to happen and it was a matter of time before MI bowled them out for 117 in 16 overs - the delay was largely caused by Jofra Archer's 27-ball 30 innings - the highest individual score for RR on the night.
With the loss, RR's dream of making it to the playoffs shattered while Mumbai took one step closer to it. The five-time champions now sit top of the 10-team points table with seven wins in 11 games including six wins in last six matches.
The turnaround is sensational given that MI had lost four of their first five games to start the IPL 2025 season.
