Mumbai Indians look to win in Jaipur, Yasaswi Jaiswal leads RR to clinical win

Mumbai Indians’ wait for a win in Jaipur continued as Rajasthan Royals registered a clinical win against the five-time champions in match 38 of the Indian Premier League 2024. Yasaswi Jaiswal scored his second goal as both sides faced MI on Monday, with Sawai Mansingh taking on RR. Led to a comfortable 9-wicket win over Mumbai at the Stadium.

MI have not beaten RR in Jaipur since 2012 and their wait will continue for another year as they were beaten by the hosts. Royals were great for Mumbai that day.

Sandeep Sharma takes two before Yuzvendra Chahal reaches his landmark 200th wicket.

Nehal Wadhera and Tilak Verma struck for the visitors. They posted a score of 99 to take MI 52/4 to 151, but Nehal fell one run short of 50. But Tilak batted and scored 65 runs. MI struggled to finish the match, with Sandeep taking three wickets in the last over to get the better of their opponents.
