While the match had its big moments, the real victory came off the field. In a tournament full of victory and defeat, this initiative stood out not just for the sixes hit, but for the homes it aims to brighten.
MI in the top two
With this win, Mumbai Indians have climbed to the top of the points table, extending their winning streak to six matches. Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, have been officially knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoff race.
