MI vs RR | Twitter reacts as Mumbai Indians storm past Rajasthan Royals to keep playoffs hopes alive
Mumbai Indians registered a thumping eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday
|Jimmy Neesham and Nathan Coulter Nile excelled with the ball as Mumbai Indians restricted Rajasthan Royals to 90/9 in a must-win game in Sharjah on Tuesday. It took MI just 8.2 overs to seal an eight-wicket win, which ensured that the five-time champions remained in contention for IPL 2021 playoffs.
Jimmy Neesham, playing his first game in IPL 2021 UAE leg, made an instant impact with his highly impressive spell of 3/12. Nathan Coulter Nile and Jaspirt Bumrah bagged four and two wickets respectively while conceding 14 runs each, as the Rajasthan Royals managed a mere 90/9 after being put in to bat.
Rohit Sharma got his side off to a flyer with a 13-ball 22, before Ishan Kishan, replacing Quinton de Kock in the XI, took over with an unbeaten 25-ball 50. MI won with a staggering 70 balls to spare, which marked their second-largest win in IPL in terms of balls remaining.
Their net run-rate (NRR) took a massive shot from -0.453 to -0.048, as they jumped up two spots to take the fifth position in the IPL 2021 points table. However, theyโd still have to depend on the KKR-RR result, even if they do win their last league fixture against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Abu Dhabi on Friday, October 8.
Lol! ROHIT SHARMA GOTย NO CHILL! XD XD XD
