The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur bore witness to a commanding performance by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) as they convincingly defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) with a remarkable nine-wicket victory in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Monday, April 22nd. This triumph solidified their position at the summit of the points table.

Opting to bat first, Mumbai struggled to find their footing, with their openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan getting dismissed at 6 and 0, respectively. Things turned positive for MI when Nehal Wadhera and Tilak Varma constructed a formidable 99-run partnership for the fifth wicket. However, Sandeep Sharma’s exceptional display of death bowling not only restricted MI to a total of 179 but also earned him the distinction of delivering the best bowling figures (5/18) in IPL 202??4 thus far.

In response, RR comfortably chased down the target with nine wickets in hand. Yashasvi Jaiswal emerged as the hero for the Royals, crafting a magnificent unbeaten century, amassing 104 runs off 60 deliveries. Jos Buttler (35 off 25) offered valuable support at the beginning before departing. The unbroken partnership between Jaiswal and Sanju Samson (38* off 28) guara?nteed a?? seamless chase for the team with eight balls remaining.

Following their comfort?able victory, the RR players embarked on a celebratory lap a?round the stadium, expressing gratitude to the enthusiastic Jaipur crowd for their support.

Rajasthan Royals’ heartfelt farewell to Jaipur fans

This match between RR and MI marked the last appearanc?e for the team led by Sanju at Jaipur. Follow?ing this fixture, RR will continue their home matches at the ACA Stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati.

Reason for changing the home venue

Reportedly, the decision to relocate the team’s home venue from Rajasthan to Assam aims to cultivate a fan base in North-East India. With Riyan Parag, the standout all-rounder of RR, hailing from Guwahati, the Royals aim to leverage the popularity of a local talent to enhance the team’s visibility. It is worth mentioning that despite RR’s impressive performance throughout the IPL seasons and their victory in the inaugural season, they remain one of the least popular teams in the cash-rich league.

Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered a resounding nine-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday (April 22). The only wicket-taker for Mumbai was veteran spinner Piyush Chawla, who dismissed the dangerous Jos Buttler, Rajasthan’s Impact Player.

Piyush Chawla’s clever delivery: Outfoxing Jos Buttler

The leg-spinner cunningly delivers a quicker wrong’un, pitching it on a shortish length around the off-stump. Buttler, anticipating the punch, moves back but is deceived as the ball subtly turns in, sneaking between bat and pad to shatter the off-stump. Buttler departs after a brisk 35 runs innings off 25 balls, marked by six boundaries. Chawla erupts into a pumped-up, fierce celebration, fueled by his success in dismissing Buttler, particularly intensified after Buttler’s boundary on the preceding delivery.

Yuzvendra Chahal cemented his legacy in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) by becoming the first bowler to achieve the milestone of 200 wickets. This remarkable feat unfolded during the clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI), captained by Hardik Pandya, on Monday (April 22), at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Chahal’s journey to this landmark peaked when he dismissed Mohammad Nabi.

Yuzvendra Chahal’s landmark achievement: 200 wickets in the IPL

Introduced into the attack in the eighth over after Mumbai opted to bat, Chahal deceived Nabi with a delicately floated leg-break, inducing a leading edge that resulted in a straightforward return catch for the bowler. It was a poetic twist of fate for Chahal, who had made his IPL debut with Mumbai back in 2013, to achieve this monumental feat against the same side. This milestone marked a historic moment in Chahal’s IPL career, spanning 153 matches.

From Mumbai to Bengaluru: Chahal’s IPL journey

Chahal’s IPL journey commenced in 2011 when he was signed by Mumbai, though he only debuted in the tournament in 2013. Despite making a solitary appearance for Mumbai, where he remained wicketless across four overs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, Chahal’s career truly flourished after he joined Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2014. During his stint with RCB from 2014 to 2021, spanning 113 matches, Chahal scalped 139 wickets at an impressive average of 22.03 and an economy rate of 7.58, establishing himself as RCB’s highest wicket-taker in the IPL.

Transition to Rajasthan: Chahal’s impact with the Royals

However, ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, RCB opted not to retain Chahal, leading to his acquisition by the Rajasthan for INR 6.5 crore. Since joining the Royals in 2022, Chahal has continued to leave an indelible mark. In the IPL 2022 season, he played a pivotal role in the Royals’ journey to the final, claiming 27 wickets at an economy rate of 7.75. Notably, his standout performance in that season included a memorable five-wicket haul, where he dismantled KKR with figures of 5/ 40, including a hat-trick that saw the dismissals of Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins.

In the ongoing IPL 2024 season, Chahal has once again demonstrated his prowess, claiming 13 wickets and currently shares the top spot on the wicket-takers’ list with Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel

He’s an enter?tainer, he’s everyone’s favourite. He’ll make you smile in one second and pick your wicket the next. He’s a fighter, he doesn’t back down. He’s the first bowler in IPL history to pick 200 wickets but you know what’s the best part?

This IPL legend wears Pink. 💗
