For once I thought, Rohit Sharma would be elated with this bowling change with only 1 run coming off the first 5 balls. Although, it was not meant to be. |
| Strategic-Break! Mumbai needed this break as they have been smashed all around the park in the Powerplay. Rajasthan have got off to a flier but we have seen on many occasions that the batting team loses a wicket right after the time-out.

| 0.0 : Sanju Samson walks out to bat at number 3. |

| 7.3 : Piyush Chawla to Sanju Samson, Piyush Chawla has the last laugh here, briefly though. There is an appeal for caught behind and the umpire raises his finger, after giving it some thought. Sanju Samson is unhappy and eventually takes the review. The UltraEdge confirms that there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat. It is tossed up, full and outside off. Sanju Samson slashes hard at it. The ball passes close to the underedge, but the technology comes to the rescue of Rajasthan this ti |
| 7.4 : Piyush Chawla to Sanju Samson, A single now as this tapped out to point. |
| 7.6 : Piyush Chawla to Sanju Samson, Pushed through quicker, on off. Sanju Samson blocks it out watchfully. A successful over from Piyush Chawla comes to an end, but Rajasthan were able to get enough runs off it as well. |

| 8.3 : Kumar Kartikeya to Sanju Samson, Shorter, outside off. Samson chops it out to point for one. |

| 9.5 : Arshad Khan to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Arshad Khan strikes in his very first over after coming back into the side. This is his second wicket in the Indian T20 League. Sanju Samson will be gutted with the manner of his dismissal. It is very full ball, on the pads. Sanju Samson chips it to deep mid-wicket. He gets no power on it as well and Tilak Varma makes no mistake in the deep. |
| Devdutt Padikkal comes out to the middle now. |
| 9.6 : Arshad Khan to Devdutt Padikkal, WIDE! Arshad Khan bends his back hard and serves a bumper here. Devdutt Padikkal ducks under it. The umpire signals a wide due to height. |

This is the googly, on middle, grips and turns away sharply, Devdutt Padikkal stays in his crease and tries to block it out but fails to pick it and plays down the wrong line as the ball goes through and rattle the stumps. Devdutt Padikkal goes back to the hut for a low score as Rajasthan lose their third wicket. Jason Holder is the new man at the crease. |
| 10.6 : Piyush Chawla to Jason Holder, Another googly, on middle, turning in, Jason Holder strides forward to defend but gets an inside edge onto his pads. |

| 12.6 : Piyush Chawla to Jason Holder, Short and on middle, Jason Holder moves back and clips it towards square leg for a run. |
| Strategic break! Despite of losing three wickets, the momentum continues to remain with the visitors. Rajasthan have been able to couterpunch with the brisk approach. Also the fact that they have a couple more hard-hitters in their rank makes it tricky for Mumbai. The hosts haven't been their best in the death overs, and Rajasthan would be hoping to capitalise on the same. A crucial passage coming up... |

They added 65 runs in the Powerplay but Buttler struggled throughout his inning and ultimately fell on 18. Sanju Samson also came in and played a few lusty blows and went back. Jaiswal continued his onslaught at one end but did not get much support from the other end. However, that did not affect him one bit as he looked like batting on a different pitch and did not spare a |
| Mumbai, on the other hand, did not get the start they wanted and gave away too many extras which helped the batters to settle in. However, they were able to get back in the game in the middle overs courtesy of two crucial wickets from Piyush Chawla who has truly turned back time. Arshad Khan and Kumar Kartikeya also squeezed in some good overs to put more pressure on the batters but certainly did not have any answers to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Chawla and Khan picked up two wickets each while Arshad |
| Yashasvi Jaiswal is in for a quick chat. He is our new Orange Cap holder. Starts by saying he enjoyed every bit of his knock. Says that he is glad that he could execute his plans to perfection. Mentions that he has worked on himself a lot, and thanks the backroom staff as well. Tells that he knows what his role is in the side and he just aims to control the run rate, it does not matter what is happening at the other end. |
| Right then, Rajasthan have posted a huge total on the board, and with their bowling attack, they will be confident of defending this one. Mumbai though will need all their batting resources to fire if they want to gun this down. Who will come out on top in this historic game? To know join us in a bit for the run chase. |

| 19.3 : OH, MY WORD! WHAT WAS THIS FINISH! This is the first true glimpse of what Tim David can do wearing a blue jersey. He has undoubtedly become the hero of Mumbai. He was brought into the side to apply his finishing touches and he has delivered at a crucial juncture of the tournament this time around. Smiles across the Mumbai camp. A collective sigh of relief from the crowd as the third ball of the final over reached the crowd, which quickly turned into a carnival of joy. This is the best birthday |
| Mumbai never give up till the very end and that's a trait that they have mastered over the course of the competition. On the 1000th game of the Indian T20 League, Mumbai found their mojo back and picked up two crucial points at home. Much-needed victory for the hosts, as they were running out of momentum. It was not an ideal start for Mumbai with the bat, as they lost the birthday boy, Rohit Sharma early on. Despite losing him early, Ishan Kishan tried his best to find boundaries at regular in |
| Rajasthan would be extremely gutted with their performance with the ball. Sanju Samson might feel that he missed a trick by handing the final over to Holder who was one of the most expensive bowlers for them. Although, he might've been forced to make that decision as Kuldeep Sen left the field early due to some discomfort. Just like Mumbai, even Rajasthan leaked plenty of runs despite picking wickets at regular intervals and that costed them the game. Even their spinner took a beating today wh |
| Earlier in the game, Rajasthan were able to get over the 200-run mark, only thanks to an incredible knock from the youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal. He smacked 124 runs off just 62 balls, and apart from him no other batter for Rajasthan could even get to 20 runs. Although, later on, their bowlers could not defend this mammoth total. |
| Stay tuned for the presentation.... |
| Sanju Samson, the skipper of Rajasthan says he was telling his bowlers to stay in the game and fight it out which they did but credits Suryakumar Yadav and the Mumbai batters for the way they played and says it was something special from Tim David. Tells that the ball was getting wet but not that wet and feels they had enough experience to deal with it. Mentions that they have been playing good cricket with results being in their favor or they get close in the end. Praises Yashasvi Jaiswal f |
| Tim David, the man of the moment is in for a chat. He says that it is an amazing result for them and the crowd was going absolutely crazy which is always the case here in Wankhede.

Says that every time a bowler missed the yorker you were in with a chance. Tells that he wanted to do something like this for a long t |
| Rohit Sharma, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. Starts by saying it was very pleasing to see how they chased down the target. Mentions that they bat really well when the score is in front of them. Informs that Tim David has got a lot of ability but it will take some time for him to fill the shoes of Pollard who has done it consistently for the side in the past and won plenty of trophies. Still believes that David has a lot more to offer and he possesses some great power. On Jofra Arc |
| Yashasvi Jaiswal wins the Player of the Match award for his scintillating knock. He says the best moment was when he scored the century as he didn't know the ball went for a boundary. Adds that he thanked God at that moment. Tells that he has worked hard for this and was very happy with it. Mentions that he is mentally strong, focuses a lot on fitness and diet, and tries to be well organized. Tells that his favorite shot is the straight drive which gives him a lot of confidence especially when |
| Right then, that's it from the coverage of this game. We meet again on Monday, 1st May for more action in the 16th edition of the Indian T20 League. It will be match number 43 where Lucknow will be locking horns against Bangalore and it will be another enthralling fixture coming your way.
