Match 13, 7-Apr-2026
| 4 | 10.9 | 10.6: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! And that extra ball costs Shardul and MI. It is a rank full toss outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal accepts the gift and smacks it through the cover and point gap for a boundary. 18 runs from the final over. RAJASTHAN ROYALS FINISH AT 150/3. |
| 0 | 10.8 | 10.6: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, WIDE! Shardul tries to keep it far from the arc, but pushes it beyond the tramline. Jaiswal is happy to leave it. Wide called. Third extra of the over. |
| 4 | 10.7 | 10.5: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Plays the field so nicely! Short of a good length, outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal shuffles far across off and laps it to the right of the keeper for a boundary. |
| 0 | 10.6 | 10.4: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Excellent delivery! And just for a moment, Shardul goes up in appeal for caught behind, but it is not entertained. Thakur walks back to the bowling mark. Lands the yorker perfectly, around off. Yashasvi Jaiswal tries to squeeze it out to the off side, but does not get bat on ball. |
| 0 | 10.5 | 10.4: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, WIDE! Bangs it hard into the pitch, short and slow, over off. Jaiswal shapes up to play the ramp shot, but misses. Wide is called, but the Mumbai Indians have gone upstairs for a review. UltraEdge is being checked first, and it comes up with a flat line. The ball is clearly above the head height, says the TV umpire. Ball Tracking shows that it is a few meters above Jaiswal's head height. Hence, the on-field decision is upheld. |
| 4 | 10.4 | 10.3: Shardul Thakur to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Clever batting! Jaiswal shuffles outside off before the ball is bowled. Shardul offers him a juicy full toss outside off. Jaiswal uses the pace and just guides it through the backward point and deep third gap for a boundary. Jaiswal takes over the Orange Cap from Sameer Rizvi. He is now at the top of the run scorers list in this IPL. |
| 1 | 10.3 | 10.2: Shardul Thakur to Shimron Hetmyer, Well bowled! Wide yorker, outside off, Hetmyer fails to get under this and heaves it through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 0 | 10.2 | 10.2: Shardul Thakur to Shimron Hetmyer, WIDE! Shardul pushes it across the batter, wide outside off on a fuller length. Shimron Hetmyer leaves it alone but it is called a fair delivery. He reviews the on-field call. The revised guideline comes up and it shows that the ball has clearly passed beyond the new guideline, with no part of the ball inside. So, the on-field decision is overturned. |
| 2 | 10.1 | 10.1: Shardul Thakur to Shimron Hetmyer, Jaiswal was gone had the throw hit! Across off, full in length. Hetmyer walks across and throws his hands at it. The ball squirts off an inside edge towards the vacant mid-wicket region and the batters charge back for the second run. The fielder in the deep swoops in and has a shy at the bowling end but misses. Thakur could not get behind the stumps in time to collect the throw and Jaiswal managed to get home. |
| 1 | 9.7 | 9.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Shimron Hetmyer, Short of a length off-cutter at 117.3 kph, angled outside leg. Hetmyer is early through his pull, fails to read the change of pace, and hits it off the toe end. The ball trickles to long on, who cuts it off to his right. One taken. Hetmyer pushes for a second but Jaiswal sends him back just in time. Bumrah goes wicketless for yet another game. |

| 6 | 9.4 | 9.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! PUNISHED! Misses the yorker by a few meters, does Bumrah. This is on the off stump line and Jaiswal thumps it downtown and it goes far into the stands for a six. |

| 1 | 8.6 | 8.6: AM Ghazanfar to Shimron Hetmyer, Around off, on a length, at 95.5 kph. Shimron Hetmyer hangs deep in the crease and cuts it to backward point. A wicket and 12 runs from this over. 2-0-21-2 for AM Ghazanfar. Pretty decent figures given the carnage up top. |
| 0 | 8.5 | 8.5: AM Ghazanfar to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Ghazanfar redeems himself. Wicket number 2 for the Afghan spinner. Hardik appreciates as well. Pushed on a fuller length, on the stump line. Riyan Parag again gets on the front foot, tries to get under it to pump it behind long on. But this time, he gets no timing on the shot. Plays off the inner half and airs it to Tilak Varma, who moves a bit to his left from long on and takes the catch. Rajasthan Royals are 121/3. |

| 6 | 7.6 | 7.6: Hardik Pandya to Riyan Parag, SIX! Sails just over! Misses his length and slips a full toss on the middle stump. Riyan Parag picks it up nicely and whips it aerially toward deep mid-wicket. Just for a moment, Shardul Thakur thinks he is in the game. He leaps but just cannot keep it in and lands beyond the ropes. |
| 0 | 7.5 | 7.5: Hardik Pandya to Riyan Parag, Spears one just inside the tramline, outside off. Parag leaves. Good wide yorker by the MI skipper. |

| 0 | 5.5 | 5.4: AM Ghazanfar to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! LBW! Ghazanfar with a big wicket now. RR lose two in a quick interval. This is pushed in front of the stumps, on a slightly fuller length. Jurel decides to play that off the back foot and tries to work it across, but plays all around it and is hit on the back pad. Up goes the finger on a confident appeal for LBW. Jurel initially starts his march back, but then decides to send it upstairs for a review. UltraEdge detects nothing as it passes close to the inside edge. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds with the ball projected to crash into the middle and leg poles. The on-field decision is upheld and Jurel takes the review with him. The Rajasthan Royals are 84/2. |

| 0 | 4.6 | 4.6: Shardul Thakur to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, OUT! CAUGHT! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is distraught. Thakur keeps the line of attack near the guideline on off and he has the field for it. After being hit for a six earlier in the over, the man in the deep was brought in front of square. Sooryavanshi reaches out and he picks the bones out of it. He fails to get it wide enough and Tilak Varma is quick to move to his left at deep cover and takes the catch over his head with a small leap. |
| 6 | 4.5 | 4.5: Shardul Thakur to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX! Straight as an arrow! Slightly too full and bowls the slower one. The ball just slides onto the bat, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi swings through the line to tonk it towards the sight screen for a biggie. |

| 6 | 4.1 | 4.1: Shardul Thakur to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX! Welcome, Shardul, says Vaibhav! A floater first up from Shardul, outside off. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets the width to free his arms, and he thumps it over extra cover for a six. Deja vu, anyone? Remember, Vaibhav's first ball six on IPL debut last year? It was the same shot, same region and the same bowler. |
| 0 | 3.6 | 3.6: Hardik Pandya to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yes, he does! An over that has its worth weight in gold in an 11-over-per-side game. Just 4 runs off it. Going across the left-hander, on a good length. Yashasvi shuffles and premeditates the scoop for the second time in the over. He fails to connect. |

| 1 | 2.7 | 2.6: Trent Boult to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Good stop! On a length, on off. Jaiswal firms the drive on the up and the ball skips across the turf. Hardik Pandya is swift to his left at mid off and cuts it off with a dive. Just a single. Boult goes for 22 runs off his first over. |
| 1 | 2.6 | 2.5: Trent Boult to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Full and at the sticks. Sooryavanshi swings too hard at it and loses his shape. Miscues it off the inner half to long on for one. |

| 0 | 1.5 | 1.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, It's all happening! Bumrah goes searching for the yorker but it comes out as a thigh-high full toss, on the pads. Vaibhav is beaten for pace and the ball dribbles wide of short fine leg. He wants to sneak in a leg bye but gets sent back by his partner. AM Ghazanfar has a shy at the batting end but misses.

| 4 | 0.6 | 0.6: Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Cracked away! Chahar taken to the cleaners in the first over. 22 runs off it. An ideal start for the Royals. A half-volley, on off, Jaiswal gets his hands through the ball and crunches it through covers for four more. |
| 4 | 0.5 | 0.5: Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! A gift and Yashasvi Jaiswal accepts it gleefully. Chahar goes full in search of swing but dishes out a full toss, on off and middle.

| 4 | 0.1 | 0.1: Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! BANG! Jaiswal and RR are on their way. Not the best of balls first up by Chahar. This slides across the left-hander, but the length is too short. It sits up to be hit and Jaiswal mows it through mid-wicket for a four. |
| 1 | 10.6 | 10.6: Jofra Archer to Deepak Chahar, Rajasthan Royals complete a comprehensive win to make it three in three. Jofra lands it on a hard length, outside off. Chahar stands tall and throws the kitchen sink at it. Slices it off the outer half and it goes towards deep point. Shimron Hetmyer seemed to have lost the ball in the lights and did not commit to the catch. He hangs back and gathers the ball on the bounce. The batters cross for a single.

He picks the ball up, turns around and scores a direct hit at the bowling end with Boult well short. |

| 0 | 9.6 | 9.4: Sandeep Sharma to Shardul Thakur, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Wicket number two for Sandeep Sharma. This is the leg-cutter, on a good length, on middle. Thakur looks to go big on the leg side and has a swipe across the line. He closes the bat face early and the ball gets skied off the top edge beside the strip on the off side. The keeper, Dhruv Jurel, calls for it, runs forward and takes the catch. |

A couple of runs for Shardul. |
| 0 | 9.3 | 9.2: Sandeep Sharma to Shardul Thakur, Fair delivery! A review taken by the Royals to challenge the wide given call by the umpire. An off cutter, on a length, wide outside off.

| 0 | 9.1 | 9.1: Sandeep Sharma to Shardul Thakur, A big swing and a miss! Sandeep rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls it full, outside off. Thakur does not pick the change and swings early. He ends up missing. |
| 0 | 8.6 | 8.6: Nandre Burger to Deepak Chahar, FOUR LEG BYES! MI will take it any way they come. Slightly too straight, on a length, on the pads. Chahar walks inside the line and lifts his front leg to play the glance. The ball clips his pads and races down to deep fine leg for a boundary. |
| 0 | 8.5 | 8.5: Nandre Burger to Naman Dhir, OUT! CAUGHT! Naman Dhir holes out. Seam-up, pace on ball, on a length, at the sticks. Dhir clears the front leg and swings through the line. He fails to get the desired elevation and hits it straight down the throat of long on, where Ravi Bishnoi gobbles it up around his chest. Dhir throws his head back in disappointment as he walks off. |
| 4 | 8.4 | 8.4: Nandre Burger to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Carved away! Pace off, on a good length, outside off. Dhir does not try to force this one, instead, he lets the ball come to him, and he opens the bat face to slice it over backward point for a four. |

| 4 | 8.1 | 8.1: Nandre Burger to Shardul Thakur, FOUR! Nicely done! Across off, on a good length. Thakur shuffles across and with fine leg inside the circle, he plays the scoop fine of that man inside the circle to pick up a boundary. |
| 1 | 7.7 | 7.6: Tushar Deshpande to Shardul Thakur, A low full toss that dips below the bat. Thakur bends into it but gets it off the toe end. Squirts out in front of backward point and short third for a single. |
| 0 | 7.6 | 7.5: Tushar Deshpande to Sherfane Rutherford, OUT! CAUGHT! Just as the belief was starting to grow, MI suffer a crushing blow. Deshpande drags his length back and pushes it across the left-hander. This is near the tramline on off, on a good length. Rutherford throws his hands at the ball. It flies off an outside edge to short third, where Sandeep Sharma is not entirely on the edge of the ring but a couple of steps ahead. He reacts quickly and dives forward. Sharma gets his fingers under the ball and manages to hold on. MI are 93/6, needing 58 runs in 19 balls. |
| 6 | 7.5 | 7.4: Tushar Deshpande to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Easy pickings! Deshpande gets the yorker wrong. He serves a thigh-high full toss, on the pads.

| 0 | 7.4 | 7.4: Tushar Deshpande to Sherfane Rutherford, Wide! Slower bouncer, over middle. Sherfane Rutherford lets it pass. Too high and it is given a wide. |
| 6 | 7.3 | 7.3: Tushar Deshpande to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Clean as a whistle! Deshpande perhaps goes searching for the wide yorker. He fails to get it wide enough and serves it right in the arc, on the fuller side. Rutherford just holds his shape and pumps it over wide long off for a biggie. |
| 1 | 7.2 | 7.2: Tushar Deshpande to Naman Dhir, Very full, on middle. Naman hits it down to long on for another single. |
| 4 | 7.1 | 7.1: Tushar Deshpande to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Smart batting! Not a great option with third man inside the circle. This is banged in short, outside off. Naman hops and gets under the ball to play the upper-cut over short third for a boundary. |
| 4 | 6.7 | 6.6: Ravi Bishnoi to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR! Up and over! Bishnoi slows it up and bowls it fuller, on off. Sherfane extends his hands and does not quite go through with the shot. He checks his drive and it goes uppishly towards extra cover. Riyan Parag leaps to his right on the edge of the ring but the ball clears him. 15 runs off the over! |
| 4 | 6.6 | 6.5: Ravi Bishnoi to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR! Gets it through! Googly, this is fractionally short, on off. Rutherford makes use of the angle and cuts it late. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dives to his right at backward point but the ball goes under his body and it trickles into the ropes. |

Gets it right off the toe end of the blade and it goes in front of long off. Jaiswal sprints across to his right and puts in a dive but cannot hold on. A brace for Sherfane.

| 6 | 5.3 | 5.3: Sandeep Sharma to Naman Dhir, SIX! That sounded so sweet! Sandeep bends his back and bashes the surface, over middle. This sits up to be hit and Dhir pulls it off the front foot wide of deep mid-wicket for a six. |
| 2 | 5.2 | 5.2: Sandeep Sharma to Naman Dhir, Full and on middle. Naman has a swipe across the line. It goes off the inner towards wide long on, where Yashasvi Jaiswal charges across to his right but does not pick the ball up on one go and concedes the second run. |

| 0 | 4.6 | 4.6: Ravi Bishnoi to Tilak Varma, OUT! TAKEN EASILY! Another batter finds the fielder. Fuller ball and a loopy one outside leg, inviting the big shot. Tilak thinks it is there for the taking. He gets down on his knee to slog it over deep mid-wicket, but the bat face closes on impact and it shanks straight to deep mid-wicket. A simple catching practice for Shimron Hetmyer in the deep. Moves to his left a bit and takes a straightforward catch. Bishnoi has two in the over. Mumbai Indians are 46/5, needing 105 from 36 balls. |

On a length, googly on middle, spinning in just enough to cramp Hardik at the moment of impact. He gets on the front foot, but cannot free his arms, and hence, the shot comes out off the inner half and the ball goes flat down to long on. Jaiswal does the rest, running to his left to pouch a clean catch. MI are 41/4, needing another 110 runs to win from 39 balls. |
| 4 | 4.2 | 4.2: Ravi Bishnoi to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Absolutely belted! Touch short and outside off. Hardik presses back and with lightning quick hands, he smashes it through the cover-point gap for a cracking boundary. |

| 0 | 3.5 | 3.5: Tushar Deshpande to Hardik Pandya, Takes pace off on a short ball, and it goes just above the helmet. But Hardik crouches and lets it pass.

| 0 | 3.4 | 3.4: Tushar Deshpande to Hardik Pandya, Slower bouncer, outside off. Hardik Pandya is deceived by the lack of pace as he slashes for a square cut and misses. |

| 0 | 2.3 | 2.3: Sandeep Sharma to Rohit Sharma, OUT! LBW! Brilliant bowling display from the Royals. Sandeep fires in a yorker onto the middle and leg stump line. Rohit Sharma gets across and down on his knee to play the paddle sweep on the leg side, but his head falls over in the process and he misses to get hit on the front pad. He even loses his balance and falls over on the pitch. Sandeep Sharma and RR appeal for LBW as one and up goes the finger. But Rohit Sharma, after a lot of pondering, has taken the review. There is a clear gap between bat and ball and Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the middle pole. MI are on their knees at 22/3. They need 129 runs from 51 balls. |

| 0 | 1.5 | 1.4: Nandre Burger to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TAKEN! Burger is pumped up and why not? This is a massive wicket in the context of the game. Banged in short on leg by Burger. Suryakumar Yadav gets inside the line and tries to pull it into the stands behind deep backward square leg. But mishits the shot due to it being the slower one. Finds no power on it and airs it into the hands of Jofra Archer stationed in the deep. Mumbai Indians are 20/2 in the chase of 151 with SKY gone. |

| 0 | 0.6 | 0.6: Jofra Archer to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! Archer strikes in the very first over and is rewarded for bowling consistently. Bowls the heavy ball, does Archer. Short of a good length, around off and it keeps climbing on the batter. Ryan Rickelton lines up to heave it across but only finds a thick top edge. The ball balloons miles up in the night sky over short third. Dhruv Jurel calls others out of the way, backtracks and takes a fine catch by settling under it. That was swirling in the air and it's a well-judged take by the RR keeper. Mumbai Indians are 10/1, chasing 151. |
| 6 | 0.5 | 0.5: Jofra Archer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! And away she goes! Just a touch fuller than the previous ball, on middle. Ryan Rickelton gets under it nicely and whips it cleanly behind deep mid-wicket for a 77-meter six into the stands. |
| 1 | 0.4 | 0.4: Jofra Archer to Rohit Sharma, A slight inswing on this one, full on leg. Rohit Sharma plays the pick-shot, but hits it aerially off the inner half. It goes on the bounce to the deep mid-wicket fielder. Just a single. |
