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. |

| 8.1 : Kumar Kartikeya to Yashasvi Jaiswal, BYE! Angled in, on leg. Yashasvi Jaiswal is unable to get any bat on it. The ball rolls towards fine leg. They cross for a bye. |
| 8.3 : Kumar Kartikeya to Sanju Samson, Shorter, outside off. Samson chops it out to point for one. |
| 8.4 : Kumar Kartikeya to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A single now as Yashasvi Jaiswal pushes this full ball out. |

| 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. |
| 11.1 : Riley Meredith to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A slower one, on a length and on off, Yashasvi Jaiswal tries to cut it but mistimes it off the bottom half of the bat towards covers. |

| 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... |
