IPL 2018, Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Rajasthan Royals won their confidence back on Sunday after defeating Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets in a nail-biter at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. 

In the first innings, Mumbai Indians failed to make a big score after stunning knocks by Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. Some brilliant bowling by Rajasthan Royals restricted Mumbai to 168 runs.

Jofra Archer, who made his debut in the IPL, starred for Rajasthan Royals in the bowling department as he picked 3 wickets in his 4 overs by giving away just 22 runs.

While chasing, Rajasthan Royals lost Rahul Tripathi and Ajinkya Rahane early, but some brilliant batting by Samson and Stokes saw the Royals make the chase easy. But with late wickets from Bumrah, it seemed like Rajasthan will falter during the chase, but a late cameo by Gowtham saw them cross the winning line in the last over.
