IPL 2025: Clinical MI Win Sixth In A Row, Top Points Table With 100-run Thrashing Of RR (ld)
Despite Kumar Kartikeya Singh: Mumbai Indians’ (MI) top four batters brought out blazing fireworks to post 217/2 before the bowlers showed relentlessness in their approach to clinch their sixth consecutive win in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and grab the top spot on the points table with a 100-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Thursday.
After making a mammoth total, thanks to 61 and 53 by Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma respectively, along with Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya making 48 not out each, MI turned on the heat in their bowling efforts to bowl out a listless RR for 117 in 16.1 overs and get a win in Jaipur for the first time since 2012.
The massive margin of victory has meant that MI’s net run rate stands at 1.274, which is also the best among all sides. On the other hand, the crushing defeat means RR, who lost half of their side on 47, are now the second team to be eliminated from IPL 2025 after Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
