In reply, RR batters crumbled under pressure and were bowled out for 117 in 16.1 overs. In their last game, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi had set the stage with a historic ton, but this time he was dismissed for a two-ball duck. Even the star batters failed to make an impact, with the highest scorer surprisingly being Jofra Archer, who made 30 off 27 balls.

For MI, both Karn Sharma and Trent Boult took three wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah claimed two and Deepak Chahar picked up one.

With this win, MI have moved to the top of the table with 14 points from 11 games and a net run rate of +1.274. RR, meanwhile, continue to struggle, sitting eighth with six points from 11 matches and a net run rate of -0.780.
