Mumbai Indians today suffered another loss against the top team of IPL 2024. Chasing 179, Rajasthan Royals opening batter Yashashvi Jaiswal found his form at just the right time as he took his team home with superb innings of 104 not out.
Mumbai Indians didn’t do that bad with the bat and some of their bowlers bowled well but it was their fielding and dropped catches that didn’t let their bowlers put any pressure on RR batsman which registered their 7th win for the season.
Fans in twitter reacted to the all best moments of the match. Here’s look at few of them :-

Kevin Pietersen says “It’s a shame that Hardik Pandya got Gerald Coetzee in 16th over after he troubled Jaiswal in 4th over with his Raw pace”

Mumbai Indians are still in the contention for the playoffs as they have 3 win in 8 matches and if they can win 5 of the remaining 6, they can fancy their chances to play eliminators. As for RR, they are just one win away to qualify and with Jaiswal coming back in form its a good sign for them going in the later phase of the series.
