\u2018We Didn\u2019t Get Big Overs\u2019: CSK Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad Blames Batters For Loss Vs DC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt looks like both of these players are making a strong comeback, especially right before the T20 World Cup. Parag, who didn’t make much of an impact in the past seasons for Rajasthan, seems determined to turn things around. He scored a half-century in the match and took the Orange Cap from Virat Kohli. Parag played patiently, handling the good balls from Mumbai’s bowlers and helping his team secure their third win of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the leg spinner picked up 2 wickets in the match, bringing his total to 6 wickets from three matches. Chahal, who hasn’t been in the Indian team lately, is showing some great performances with the ball. Currently, his economy rate stands at 5.50, which is better than his teammates this season. Whether he’ll be selected for the T20 World Cup squad remains to be seen, only the BCCI knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MI vs RR: AS IT HAPPENED<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rajasthan Royals showed an impressive bowling performance in the first innings of the match against Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium. Trent Boult and Nandre Burger caused trouble for Mumbai’s top-order batsmen, with Boult notably dismissing three Mumbai players for Golden Ducks on Monday, April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the powerplay, Boult and Burger dominated, and then Yuzvendra Chahal and Avesh Khan continued to keep Mumbai in check during the middle overs. Despite a short partnership of 56 runs in 36 balls, Chahal managed to break through and dismiss both batsmen. Rajasthan kept the pressure on Tim David, understanding that the game wasn’t over until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately for Mumbai, Australian lower-order batsman Tim David struggled, scoring only 17 runs off 24 balls. As a result, Mumbai could only manage a total of 125 runs for the loss of 9 wickets, the lowest score by any team so far in the IPL 2024 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This total wasn’t enough to defend against Rajasthan in a high-scoring match at Wankhede Stadium, and Mumbai eventually lost the match by the 16th over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this loss, Mumbai became the second team to lose their home game in the tournament, following RCB, who were the first and only team to lose a home game this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
