Mumbai Indians ne IPL 2025 mein ek dhamakedar comeback karte hue Rajasthan Royals ko 100-run se hara diya aur seedha points table ke top par jump maar liya. Yeh zabardast jeet May 1 ko Sawai Man Singh Stadium mein dekhne ko mili, jahan MI ne pehle batting karte hue 217/2 ka huge target set kiya.
Opening pair Ryan Rickelton (61) aur Rohit Sharma (53) ne solid base diya, jiske baad Suryakumar Yadav aur Hardik Pandya ne lightning-fast 48-48* runs jodkar innings ko explosive finish diya. Unka approach simple tha — cricketing shots, gaps hit karo, aur intent dikhao.
“Especially the way they batted. Absolutely clinical with the ball. We could have got maybe 15 runs more. We kind of missed out,” — Hardik Pandya
Jab bowling ki baari aayi, toh MI ne RR ke batting lineup ko sirf 117 runs pe all-out kar diya in just 16.1 overs. Trent Boult aur Karn Sharma ne 3-3 wickets liye, Jasprit Bumrah ne 2 aur Deepak Chahar aur Pandya ne ek-ek wicket chhaina.
“(talk with SKY) What we were trying to speak to each other was to play percentage shots and cricket shots. Value of shots are there if you hit the gaps, Ro and Ryan batted the same way, Ryan kept the intent and he targeted those boundaries and it was fantastic. It is never about people getting chances, it is about what is required of that situation,” — Hardik Pandya
“People are going back to what is called batsmanship, it is about hitting the gaps, run hard and the way we batted was proper batsmanship,” — Hardik Pandya
Pandya ne apne bowlers ki tareef karte hue kaha ki team ab simple cricket khel rahi hai, aur yahi unki jeet ka mantra hai. Discipline aur humility ke saath aage badhna unka focus hai.
“I don’t know who all to mention, the kind of bowling attack we have and the experience, I don’t have to worry. Everyone is very clear and we are going back to simple cricket, it is working for us and hopefully it continues. We want to be humble, very disciplined and keep focusing,” — Hardik Pandya
Agla match Mumbai Indians ka May 6 ko Gujarat Titans ke against hoga Wankhede Stadium mein, jabki Rajasthan Royals May 4 ko Kolkata Knight Riders se bhidegi Eden Gardens mein. Fans ko ek aur blockbuster week dekhne ko milne wala hai!
