In a thrilling encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday, April 22, Rajasthan Royals (RR) secured a resounding 9 wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 38 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Following the resumption of the game, Mumbai Indians managed to break through as Piyush Chawla dismissed Jos Buttler in the 8th over after he had contributed 35 runs off 25 deliveries.

Jaiswal eventually reached the milestone of his second IPL century off 59 balls in the penultimate over of the game.

As the match approached its climax, with just four runs required off 11 balls, the Royals sealed a nine-wicket victory with eight balls to spare.

Sandeep Sharma’s Impactful Bowling Performance

Earlier in the game, Sandeep Sharma delivered a phenomenal bowling performance, claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul for the Royals. His exceptional spell restricted Mumbai Indians to 179/9 despite Tilak Varma’s valiant half-century.

Opting to bat first on a spin-friendly pitch, Mumbai’s innings got off to a shaky start as Rajasthan bowler Trent Boult struck early in the first over, dismissing Rohit Sharma for just six runs. Sandeep Sharma compounded Mumbai’s woes by dismissing both openers within nine balls. His precise bowling accounted for the dismissals of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, leaving Mumbai reeling at ten runs for the loss of two wickets.

Chahal’s Landmark Achievement

Mumbai Indians struggled to build partnerships during their innings, managing to post only 45/3 in the powerplay, mainly due to Mohammad Nabi’s contribution of 18 runs. Rajasthan Royals further capitalized on their bowling prowess as Yuzvendra Chahal achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to claim 200 wickets. Chahal’s landmark wicket came from Mohammad Nabi, who fell victim to his deceptive bowling.

Despite a resilient partnership between Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera, Mumbai Indians failed to accelerate their scoring rate.

In the IPL’s 17-year history, Chahal stands atop the list of highest wicket-takers, having amassed 200 wickets in 153 matches. Dwayne Bravo and Piyush Chawla trail behind him, highlighting Chahal’s dominance in IPL bowling statistics.

Having represented Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for eight years, Chahal emerged as the franchise’s leading wicket-taker, surpassing the 100-wicket mark. However, RCB’s decision not to retain him ahead of the 2022 mega-auction paved the way for his stint with Rajasthan Royals.

Success with Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Chahal’s move to RR proved to be a masterstroke as he delivered exceptional performances in the IPL 2022 season. Clinching the Purple Cap with 27 wickets in 17 matches, including a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul, Chahal played a pivotal role in RR’s journey to the final, where they finished as runners-up.

Surpassing Shane Warne

Chahal surpassed Shane Warne in a remarkable feat, becoming RR’s most successful spinner in IPL history. His consistency and ability to deliver under pressure have made him an invaluable asset to the franchise.

Warne, who led RR to the title in the inaugural IPL edition, took 57 wickets from 55 games at an average of 25.38 while Chahal had 59 scalps at a strike rate of 14.36 for the Royals in the cash-rich league before the start of the match against KKR. He attained the feat in his 37th match for RR.

Despite his departure from RCB, Chahal continued to shine in the IPL, showcasing his prowess with 13 wickets in the current season for RR. His stellar performances have reaffirmed his status as one of the premier spinners in the tournament.

Mumbai Indians’ Batting Struggles

In pursuit of a modest 126-run target set by Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians faced a batting collapse right from the start. Boult’s early breakthroughs rattled Mumbai’s top order, as Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, and Dewald Brevis were dismissed for golden ducks.

Despite a brief resurgence led by Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma, Mumbai Indians failed to capitalize on partnerships and succumbed to pressure. Pandya then gave MI a boost by smashing 16 runs off the last over of the powerplay and the five-time champions were 46/4 at the end of the sixth over.

Pandya and Tilak put up 56 runs off 36 balls for the fifth wicket before the MI captain fell for 34 off 21 to Yuzvendra Chahal, who then dismissed Varma shortly therafter for 34 off 21. Chahal got his third wicket in the death overs in the form of Gerald Coetzee. Tim David struggled to get going as well in the death overs, eventually falling for an uncharacteristically sluggish 17 off 24 balls.

Impact of Key Players

Both teams relied heavily on their key players to deliver match-winning performances. While Rajasthan Royals banked on the bowling expertise of Boult and Chahal, Mumbai Indians pinned their hopes on the batting prowess of Pandya and Varma. However, it was the collective effort of the entire Rajasthan Royals’ bowling unit that proved decisive in clinching victory.

Rajasthan Royals Performance

Jaiswal departed after scoring 10 runs off 6 deliveries, caught by Tim David at cover on the ball of South African pacer Kwena Maphaka. In the fifth over, Rajasthan suffered their second setback as Akash Madhwal bowled out RR captain Sanju Samson for a mere 12 runs from 10 deliveries. Meanwhile, opener Jos Buttler kept stealing runs.

Two overs later, English opener Jos Buttler also fell, managing only 13 runs from 16 balls. A short delivery from Madhwal tempted Buttler into a pull-shot, but instead, the ball ended up in Piyush Chawla’s hands at fine-leg.

Riyan Parag and R Ashwin teamed up for a 40-run partnership from 35 deliveries before Ashwin fell victim to Akash Madhwal, marking the bowler’s third wicket. The experienced all-rounder was caught by Tilak Varma after scoring a steady 16 runs.

Riyan Parag emerged as the hero for Rajasthan Royals with a stellar batting display. His composed innings of 54 runs from 39 deliveries anchored Rajasthan’s chase and guided the team to a convincing six-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians. Parag’s ability to hold his nerve under pressure and steer the innings to victory earned him well-deserved accolades.
