IPL2026 : Rain-Delayed Thriller Turns Into Run-Fest as Rajasthan Royals Outclass MI , Jaiswal- Vaibhav shines

 



A relentless downpour disrupted the scheduled start, forcing a delay of nearly three hours. But once play finally began at Guwahati’s Barsapara Stadium, the wait proved worthwhile for the thousands in attendance. As the skies cleared, a flurry of boundaries lit up the ground, culminating in a commanding 27-run victory for Rajasthan Royals over the five-time champions.

In the rain-curtailed encounter, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya made the expected call to field first after winning the toss. However, what followed was a breathtaking onslaught from Rajasthan’s explosive openers, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who dismantled the opposition attack with fearless intent. The duo raced to 50 in a mere 16 balls, leaving the Mumbai camp stunned.

Trent Boult endured a nightmare start, conceding 22 runs in the opening over, while Jasprit Bumrah too was taken apart, with Suryavanshi smashing two towering sixes off him. Suryavanshi’s blistering cameo of 39 off just 14 balls, featuring five sixes, set the tone. At the other end, Jaiswal played an even more devastating knock, hammering an extraordinary 77 off just 32 deliveries. Riding on their sensational opening stand, Rajasthan piled up an imposing 150 in the allotted 11 overs.

Chasing a daunting target, Mumbai Indians faltered right from the outset. Rickelton fell in the very first over, triggering an early collapse. The experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav failed to make an impact, as the mounting required rate took its toll. Reduced to a precarious 46 for 5, Mumbai were left reeling under immense pressure.

A brief resistance came through a steady partnership between Rutherford and Naman Dhir, who tried to revive the innings with composed knocks of 25 each. However, neither could convert their starts into something substantial. Once their partnership was broken, Mumbai’s hopes faded rapidly.

Ultimately, Mumbai Indians were restricted to 123, falling well short of the target, as Rajasthan Royals sealed a comprehensive 27-run victory in a high-octane, rain-hit contest.
