Rajasthan Royals Win by 27 Runs Over Mumbai Indians in IPL

In Guwahati, Rajasthan Royals secured a commanding 27-run victory over Mumbai Indians in a rain-shortened Indian Premier League match on April 7, 2026, at Barsapara Stadium. The 11-overs-per-side contest highlighted an explosive opening stand by Rajasthan's Yashasvi Jaiswal and teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, setting a challenging target that Mumbai's bowlers and batters could not overcome.

After Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya opted to field first, Rajasthan capitalized on batting-friendly conditions. Jaiswal anchored the innings with an unbeaten 77 off 32 balls, while Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old left-hander, blazed 39 off just 14 deliveries. The openers forged an 80-run partnership, smashing nine sixes and racing to 56 runs in the 3.2 overs of the powerplay. Sooryavanshi targeted Mumbai's pace attack aggressively, hitting two sixes off Jasprit Bumrah on the first two balls he faced from the India star, and adding more boundaries against Shardul Thakur before falling to a sharp catch. Rajasthan finished at 150 for three, with Jaiswal reaching his half-century and steering the team past 150.
