RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan beat Mumbai by 27 runs in Guwahati

The margin might flatter to deceive a few about how bad Mumbai have been today. Right from their bowling, the complacency and lack of game awareness were evident in their batting. There have been moments at the end when Rutherford and Naman Dhir were batting on the power this unit has, but it was not enough in the end. Credit must go to Rajasthan bowlers Sandeep Sharma, especially, who stuck to the plan brilliantly, bowling into the surface and taking pace off. That is it from us for today, folks. Do join us tomorrow for the next game.

Apr 8, 2026 12:23 AM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 9.5 overs Mumbai 112/8 vs Rajasthan

Naman Dhir was the last man to fall. He played a good hand through in the hand, trying to save the blushes. They needed someone in the top order for Mumbai to replicate what Jaiswal has done here ot batting till the 10th over would have made a difference if someone could have come and played a cameo. As we update, Rajasthan has picked up another wicket in Shardul Thakur. He tried to whack the ball on the leg-side, got the leading edge, and went high in the air, and Jurel completes the catch. Sandeep has picked up his second wicket.

Apr 8, 2026 12:14 AM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 8.3 overs Mumbai 99/6 vs Rajasthan

Well, Sherfane Rutherford was giving some life to that chase, but Tushar Deshpande's slower one did the trick. Eventually, it was an off-cutter, which Rutherford tried to cut through point, but got the edge, and a man at short third, Sandeep, took a lovely catch. That feels like the game for the Mumbai Indians, and it might be now about minimising the damage. Although Mumbai has broken the jinx of winning their opening game, they have looked rusty in the last couple of games and have started their tournament slowly again.

Apr 8, 2026 12:03 AM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 6.5 overs Mumbai 71/5 vs Rajasthan

The run-rate is spiking up here and is almost 18s at this point in time. Most of the damage has been done by the Rajasthan Royals early on, and now it is catch-up for Mumbai. Naman Dhir did a decent job against Sandeep, but Mumbai needs a lot of them boundaries to come at an extremely high frequency. Sherfane Rutherford has come into the middle, and this is his first appearance at the crease. It will be interesting to see how he will approach this innings. So far, he has tried to hit one into the stands and was dropped by Jaiswal and post that, he has toned down a bit.

Apr 7, 2026 11:53 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 4.4 overs Mumbai 42/4 vs Rajasthan

The wicket has not at all behaved the way the Mumbai Indians wanted it to. They wanted the ball to swing initially, and that did not happen. The ball went in straight lines, and now it is stopping a bit as the moisture in the wicket is drying, and on top of that, they have lost three wickets. As we update, they have lost a fourth one. Hardik Pandya hit a boundary off Ravi Bishnoi, tried to follow it up with another one, but got holed at long-off. The Mumbai Indians have lost four wickets in the fourth over. It is now looking closer to impossible for them to get these runs.

Apr 7, 2026 11:44 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 3.1 overs Mumbai 29/3 vs Rajasthan

It is falling apart for the Mumbai Indians here in the middle. Rohit Sharma is the last batter to fall. It was a slower one from Sandeep, and Rohit tried to play a sweep shot, which was not there, and the ball hit the pads. It was a pretty straightforward decision, but Mumbai sent upstairs, and it was three reds. Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav, who came into the middle, fell to Nandre Burger. The ball was dug into the surface. Surya tried to hit through the square-leg region, but was undone by the pace and got holed at square-leg on the boundary to Jofra Archer.

Apr 7, 2026 11:33 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: After 1.2 overs Mumbai 20/1 vs Rajasthan

That is brilliant over from Jofra Archer, they took their notes, did the Rajasthan bowlers, and there was hardly anything to drive in that opening over, while Rickelton shaped one and hit into the stands, predicting that good length Archer pulled it further back and bowled outside the off-stump. It took a top edge and went high in the air. The ball was swirling, and Dhruv Jurel completed the catch. Might seem easy that one, but those swirl a lot and just deceive the keepers at the final moment. It is interesting that Mumbai has sent Suryakumar Yadav into the middle here.

Apr 7, 2026 11:24 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Teams

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton(w), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, AM Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

Apr 7, 2026 11:17 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 150/3 (11 overs) vs Mumbai in Guwahati

That is a cracking innings from Jaiswal, the way he was batting, if it were a 20-over game, he might have well gotten somewhere near Chris Gayle's 175. Although other batters have not done much, they did play those support cameos which suited Jaiswal perfectly today. As per Mumbai, bowling their plans have been pretty ordinary; they have taken too long to alter their lengths when there was no swing on offer, which has cost them 25-30 more. Ghazanfar was the pick of the bowlers who bowled into the surface. We will be right back after the break do stay with us.

Apr 7, 2026 11:04 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 135/3 vs Mumbai after 10.1 overs

This is a good total, what the Rajasthan Royals have got, and it is all about bowling into the surface in the second innings, also they have two proper spinners at their disposal, out of which one, Jadeja, just might have something to work with on this surface and very well might end up as a thorn in the flesh of Mumbai batting.

Apr 7, 2026 10:58 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 122/3 vs Mumbai after 9.1 overs

Yashasvi Jaiswal has slammed a half-century here. He has played a brilliant innings in an 11-over game. There is a requirement for the injection of momentum, such as those to start the innings, and that is what he provided. He did not have any half-measures and was completely committed to the way he wanted to play. As we update, Riyan Parag has fallen here, and it is Ghazanfar who has picked up the wicket. It was a tossed-up delivery, but it was not an orthodox off-break, and Parag could not get underneath it completely. Tilak Varma on the boundary once again took a lovely catch.

Apr 7, 2026 10:47 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 98/1 vs Mumbai after 7.1 overs

The Mumbai Indians have pulled back things somehow in the last few minutes. Ghazanfar has come into the attack and picked up the wicket of Dhruv Jurel. The ball went into the right-hander with an angle that seemed like Jurel was too casual with his shot and missed the ball completely. It looked plumb, but the decision was sent upstairs anyway, where there were three reds. Once again, that wicket from Ghazanfar is indicative of the hard length that has worked today, and Rajasthan bowlers will have that advantage and try to bowl at that length right from the first over.

Apr 7, 2026 10:38 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 82/1 vs Mumbai after 5.1 overs

This has been a pretty odd bowling from the Mumbai Indians. In the first over, there was clear evidence that there was no swing on offer; however, all of the bowlers, apart from Hardik Pandya, were pitching the ball up there into the slot of the Rajasthan openers, which both left-handers have been blasting into the stands. As we update, Sooryavanshi has fallen here. It was once again floated up there from Shardul, which Sooryavanshi hit over covers, but Tilak Sharma took an exceptional catch that would have been six. Tilak timed his dive well. So there is something to cheer about for the visitors.

Apr 7, 2026 10:27 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 58/0 vs Mumbai after 3.1 overs

This is brutal from the Rajasthan opening partnership. We are not three overs in, and 50 has already come for the men in pink. They have been dealing in sixes thus far, and every delivery they are picking the length early and throwing the kitchen sink at it. The way things are going, Rajasthan might end up around the 150-mark and should with the start they got. As per Mumbai, three overs of pace so far have gone all over the park; it might be time to throw in some spin, but Hardik Pandya decided he will bring himself into the attack.

Apr 7, 2026 10:19 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rajasthan 36/0 vs Mumbai after 1.4 overs

Well, Yashasvi Jaiswal took no time to get in right from ball one. He went after the bowler Deepak Chahar. There was talk of some swing in the air, but there was none of it. Everything Chahar bowled, Jaiswal could hit with ease. Jasprit Bumrah has come into the attack and delivered a ball in the slot to Sooryavanshi, who smacked a six of the first delivery over long-on. This is an exceptional start for the Rajasthan Royals already. There is no swing and seam moment whatsoever, and Mumbai have to be mighty careful here because the wicket is dry. Rajasthan spinners might come into play in the 2nd innings.

Apr 7, 2026 10:08 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Riyan Parag at toss

We would have done the same thing actually. It was supposed to be a little dry, but then it rained a lot, so there's a little bit of moisture. It shouldn't play that much [of a role] due to the 11-over game, but it is what it is. (How pleased are you with the start?) I think very pleased. We've had two different types of games here. One that really challenged us and one that kept us on top from start to finish. But really happy with how the boys handled it under pressure, and hope we put the same result today. Same team.

Apr 7, 2026 10:07 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Hardik Pandya at toss

We are going to bowl first. It has been under covers, in rain-effected games you should bat second. It just gives you a clear idea what total should be. (Is it because there's been rain and there will be more rain and it's a truncated game that he opted to bowl?) Yes, that has been always the back of the mind. (How do you treat the loss from the previous game?) I feel it's just the start of the season. We are bound to make mistakes and there are always going to be some very long tournaments. You don't win the IPL in the first couple of weeks and at the same point of time, you don't lose it as well. So, yes, we just spoke about in the group what better things we needed to do. And now, you know, it's just a quick turnaround, so just want to focus on this game and see how we can execute the plans which we have decided. (Team changes) I come back and Boulty is back.

IPL: How Delhi Capitals are overcoming Mitchell Starc’s absence

In a tournament where scores around or above 200 are commonplace, Delhi Capitals have won their first two games by restricting their opposition to 141 and 162. Having assembled a bowling attack blessed with quality in both pace and spin departments, the franchise hasn’t yet felt the absence of left-arm legend Mitchell Starc, who is yet to receive the go-ahead from Cricket Australia to join his IPL franchise.

‘CSK’s biggest problem right now’: Former India pacer slams Chennai Super Kings bowler’s poor form in IPL 2026

Chennai Super Kings have endured a torrid patch early on in the IPL 2026 season, with three defeats exposing a chunk of problems within the five-time champions’ squad.

While the inexperience of the bowling attack and the collective failures of the top order stars have hurt CSK big time, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan picked the failure of a marquee signing as the key reason behind CSK’s early setback. (Read more)

‘He’s got a better IPL record than Rohit Sharma’: Simon Doull backs Ajinkya Rahane amid KKR captain’s strike rate debate

Former New Zealand seamer Simon Doull came to the defence Ajinkya Rahane after the Kolkata Knight Riders captain recently slammed questions over his batting strike rates in the IPL.

After a mixed outing in KKR’s season opener against Mumbai Indians wherein Rahane struggled outside the batting Powerplay, the veteran Mumbaikar was irked by questions following a subsquent failure against the SunRisers Hyderabad. Taking questions after a second successive defeat last week, Rahane who fell for eight against SRH, said: “The people who’re talking about me, probably (they’re) not watching the matches, or they’ve certain other targets, they don’t like me playing. The amount of success I got, I guess, they’re jealous of me. I’m happy they’re talking about me, negative or positive.” (Read more)

RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: What did Shardul Thakur say ahead of game

The way the game has evolved over the past few years, it’s very important for bowlers to be on their toes. While a lot of planning is involved, it’s equally important to react based on the game situation and the pitch conditions. Whenever there’s a challenging situation, even when we’re not bowling or fielding, it becomes our responsibility as players to read the game. Based on that, we decide what kind of bowling is needed, whether you’re going for wickets or trying to restrict the batsmen. There are multiple plans, there isn’t just one special plan that always works. So staying proactive is very important. (Most impressive thing about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) His six-hitting ability. If you look back a few years, Indian batters didn’t have this level of six-hitting ability. Along with the structure of Indian cricket and the BCCI's efforts, like training at the COE, it gives youngsters the exposure they need. That’s why they’re able to perform and impress at this level. At such a young age, his six-hitting ability is outstanding and he looks like a very exciting player for the future. (How to stop the Sooryavanshi-Jaiswal duo?) Mostly, we would like to stick to our strengths. When you focus too much on the opponent, it can add pressure. So it’s important to stick to our strengths. As I mentioned, the game has evolved a lot in recent years, and we’ve consistently seen big scores in the powerplay. This isn’t just about one match, it’s been the trend across many games. Batters are making full use of the field restrictions during the powerplay.

Apr 7, 2026 07:36 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: What did Nandre Burger say?

(How's the ball coming out?) I'd like to say it's feeling great, but I do think it's felt better. I'm kind of coming back from injury and not bowling too much, not too much training. So kind of trying to search for rhythm, fighting the action a little bit. But yeah, happy with the results thus far and how it's going. (How to search for the rhythm?) You just have to fight through every day. I think the harder you search, the harder it is to find it. You just kind of hope that it clicks for an over and then you have it. So you just kind of keep trying to compete, keep trying to bowl, like the balls you're trying to bowl and then hopefully it clicks. (Expectations today) Just keep things as simple as possible. Just do what you plan to do and hopefully the result goes our way. (Bowling with Jofra Archer) He's a pretty simple guy. It's just basically we try to sum up conditions as quick as we can and then just say, best ball we feel to bowl is this certain ball and then just try to execute that ball as often as you can.

Apr 7, 2026 07:23 PM IST
RR vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: What did Tilak Varma say ahead of game

(Coming into this season's IPL after a successful T20 World Cup) Yeah, I was pretty excited to play this season for the MI. To be frank, for India, I have won Asia Cup, World Cup and everything, but it's time now to win a sixth title for MI. So yes, I'm really excited for it. (On batting at various position and his preference) To be honest, I'll just see what team needs at that moment, at that particular time, what the team needs. So according to that, I'll just see, I'll just plan accordingly my innings like who can I choose to hit at that particular time and who is bowling well, and I just calculate and I just go with the flow at that moment. (On this season so far) Yeah, last game was not that great for us. We haven't batted well, but we are in a good shape as a team. Everyone are in good frame of mind and good shape. So hopefully this season we'll be doing great things.

Rajat Patidar vs CSK: The innings that proved he belongs in India’s white-ball plans

It was the shot that liberated Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

When Rajat Patidar strode to the middle in the eleventh over, none of their batsmen — including Phil Salt who had just been dismissed — were in complete command. The heavy outfield was holding up the ball. The hard lengths CSK had hit were creating doubt. The run-rate spiked to 10 one moment and dropped to 8 the next. Nobody seemed to know what a par score was. When Patidar left at the end of the innings, RCB had scored 157 off 56 deliveries — mind-boggling carnage, with Devdutt Padikkal’s and Tim David’s knocks sandwiched in between. (Read more)

How will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi tackle the Jasprit Bumrah challenge

As teams in the IPL and possibly around the world begin to gather more data on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, something different caught the eye during the Rajasthan Royals’ match against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

It is now well known that the 15-year-old loves to target the leg-side, in the arc between long-on and square leg. Bowlers have looked to target Sooryvanshi’s stumps and test him against the short ball. However, those tactics have played into the left-hander’s hands, allowing him to hit to the onside and clear the boundary with ease. (Read more from Shankar Narayan)

"His numbers in the last four years have not been that bad. He averages 30 and strikes at 148 over 30-odd games. People are talking about dropping him. It's a better record than what Rohit has got in the last four years. It's an equal record to Ishan Kishan in the last four years. You are not talking about dropping any of those blokes. Hence his frustration. But it comes down to the pressure from a captaincy point of view."

"It's a decent side. They have the potential to upset sides. But they are also a side that will self-destruct. Yet, if two in their top five click, they will smash the opposition. The Jaiswal-Suryavanshi opening stand is their biggest plus. They are capable of winning matches singlehandedly. So they are a good side but not a dangerous one. They are not a championship-winning side. They are 50-50 even for playoff qualification," remarked Srikkanth.

"As the practice has evolved in the game and the world, it's equally important for the bowlers to evolve as well... Two-three years back, you wouldn't have said that 200 plus or 250 plus are the target. The game is evolving. The bowlers have to evolve as well"

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) clash from IPL 2026. Both teams will play their third game of the season.

On Saturday, though, Sooryavanshi was tested. The GT bowlers consistently bowled on or outside his off-stump to try to negate his strengths and force him to swing across the line. The southpaw, however, seemed ready for the challenge.

In his knock of 31 runs off 18 balls, 22 runs came on the off-side, including a four and a sensational six over third man, as well as runs towards covers and long-off.
