Jaiswal’s 77 Powers Rajasthan Royals to 27-run Victory over Mumbai Indians
In a rain-curtailed Match 13 of IPL 2026 at the ACA Stadium, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) cemented their position at the top of the points table with a dominant 27-run win over the Mumbai Indians (MI).
In a game reduced to 11 overs per side, Yashasvi Jaiswal delivered a masterclass in power-hitting, smashing an unbeaten 77 off just 32 balls. Jaiswal, along with young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (39 off 11), propelled the Royals to a daunting total of 150/3.
The Mumbai Indians’ chase faltered almost immediately as they lost the top-order trio of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ryan Rickelton within the first three overs, reduced to a dismal 22/3.


Despite late cameos from Sherfane Rutherford and Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya’s side was restricted to 123/9. Rajasthan’s bowling unit, led by Nandre Burger and Sandeep Sharma, utilized the damp conditions perfectly, securing a win that leaves Mumbai reeling with their third loss in four games.
